Zero-day options are fueling the unprecedented volatility on Wall Street amid tariff chaos

Zero-day options are fueling the unprecedented volatility on Wall Street amid tariff chaos
SHARE

The recent wild intraday gyrations in the stock market have left investors feeling more anxious than ever. One of the contributing factors to this volatility is the growing popularity of zero-day-to-expiration (0DTE) options, which are contracts that expire on the same day they are traded. According to data from JPMorgan, the trading volume of 0DTE options tied to the S&P 500 has surged to 8.5 million in April, accounting for roughly 7% of the total volume in U.S. option markets.

These short-term options have become a favored tool for investors of all sizes looking to either make a quick profit or hedge against sudden market moves. However, many experts warn that the large volumes of 0DTE options can exacerbate price swings in the market. Jeff Kilburg, CEO and CIO of KKM Financial, expressed concern about the impact of these options on market movements, likening them to “gasoline on a fire” that can amplify price swings.

The recent volatility in the market can also be attributed to external factors, such as the introduction of steep tariffs by former President Trump on key trading partners and the subsequent policy reversals. Last week, the S&P 500 experienced its third-largest gain in post-World War II history following a bear market scare. The Dow Jones Industrial Average also saw historic declines, falling at least 1,500 points on consecutive days for the first time ever.

Intraday volatility for the S&P 500 nearly doubled last week, reaching levels not seen since the 2008 financial crisis. This heightened uncertainty has fueled the demand for 0DTE options as investors seek to manage risk and capitalize on market fluctuations. Retail investors, in particular, are increasingly using online platforms like Robinhood to access these options and participate in the market.

Maxwell Grinacoff, UBS’ head of U.S. equity derivatives research, noted that 0DTE options have played a significant role in driving intraday volatility, with this increased activity not always reflected in closing prices. As options become more accessible to a wider range of investors, the market is likely to see continued volatility driven by these short-term trading vehicles.

Overall, the rise of 0DTE options and the increasing participation of retail investors in the options market are reshaping the dynamics of stock trading. As the market continues to navigate through uncertain times, it will be crucial for investors to stay informed and exercise caution when using these short-term trading instruments.
