At the New York Stock Exchange we strive to preserve integrity, drive innovation and promote greater understanding of our markets.
Michael P. Reinking, CFA
Sr. Market Strategist
Good morning,
Today is a day of optimism and closure. On the one hand we have Opening Day (though it looks like a washout on the coasts) and this evening there will be four college basketball teams falling on either end of that emotional spectrum. Oh yeah, it’s also the final day of trading in the first quarter. Coming into today the S&P 500 is up 3% for the month, extending its monthly winning streak to five and looking to close out Q1 with the best start to the year since 2019 up 10%. Not surprisingly as we head into the long holiday weekend it remains pretty quiet with US futures trading on either side of unchanged.
We believe in the value of educating, informing and providing insights to all market participants. Whether you’re an institutional user of our technology, an experienced trader or a retail investor starting out, the New York Stock Exchange provides expertise to connect you to opportunity.
When Wednesday expirations were added to five ETFs1 in November 2023, short-dated trading has gained market share in all five of them. The industry has been discussing the reasons behind the short-dated trading phenomenon and debating whether additional expirations should be considered for single stocks.
Retail participation in options market trading rose sharply during the pandemic, peaking at 48% in July 2022. While it has bounced around since then, it hit 45% in July 2023 (Chart 1). This data suggests that substantial retail options trading is here for the foreseeable future.
U.S. listed equity options exchanges offer customers a wide array of market models to meet different investors’ and firms’ needs. NYSE American and NYSE Arca, now both trading on NYSE’s world class Pillar Matching engine, cover the two main market models. NYSE Arca leads price/time exchanges’ market share. NYSE American offers customers price improvement auctions with a pro-rata model.
