Today marks the last âÂÂquad witching dayâ of 2021. ThatâÂÂs the date when all stock futures, options, and index futures and options expire simultaneously. It can lead to a number of unusual swings in stock prices as traders reposition, especially given the record number of options and futures contracts out there today. Adding in this weekâÂÂs volatile markets overall, there could be some unusual drops that create some short-term buying opportunities, particularly in heavily-traded stocks. This event wonâÂÂt happen again until March, and with markets calming down about inflation fears, this could be the most volatile day for weeks to come, ahead of a potential holiday rally. That makes today an ideal time to put on some trades ahead of the final two weeks of the year.
