Last night, U.S. stocks saw a massive surge in trading volume, marking the third-highest intraday trading volume since 2008. Although the triple witching day played a role, the trading volume far exceeded the usual levels for such days. Personally, I think the driving factors include:
- Triple witching day, where stock options, index options, and index futures all expire simultaneously, leading to high trading volumes;
- Rate cuts driving increased risk appetite and boosting liquidity;
- Fundamentals improving as we enter October and approach earnings season. Among companies that have already issued Q3 earnings guidance, over 22% are expected to beat analyst expectations, hitting the highest level in a year.
Triple witching day expirations are also a time for investors to adjust their positions, which reflects market sentiment.
