OPTIONS TRADERS POSITIONED FOR MORE WILD STOCK SWINGS
Investors are bracing for more stock market volatility ahead.
Options traders are betting on a move of 1% or more, higher or lower, in the S&P 500 for every session through at least May 23, according to a Monday note from Citigroup strategists.
Those moves are expected to be higher on days of economic importance: Options are pricing in a swing of 1.8% in the benchmark index when the April jobs report is released, and a move of 1.7% the day of Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell's post-meeting press conference in May.
