Tomorrow at 03:00 AM, the Federal Reserve's monetary policy meeting minutes will be released in detail, revealing FOMC members' discussions on the economic outlook, inflation, and interest rates. This is an important basis for market judgments on future monetary policy directions.
After the annual expiration last Friday, options trading still accounts for a large proportion of block trades. This is related to the inactivity of retail investors during the Christmas to New Year period and the need to establish new positions after expiration.
Due to poor performance in the fourth quarter, the proportion of Put Blocks has remained high recently. Implied Volatility (IV) has not yet entered a rebound. Waiting for market participants to return next week, IV should see a certain rebound.
Overall, market liquidity is relatively sluggish, and sentiment is somewhat pessimistic. There probably won't be many opportunities this week, and selling options to earn theta might be the better choice.
