After a bumpy April, markets are looking steadier<\/strong>, though derivatives strategists aren\u2019t convinced the calm will hold, Bloomberg writes<\/a>. Many believe the broader trend of low volatility will continue, thanks to consistent option-selling by income-generating ETFs \u2014 though brief intraday shocks like the one triggered by April\u2019s tariff announcement are expected to remain part of the landscape.<\/p>\n

(Tap or click the headline above to read this story with all of the links <\/strong>to our background as well as external sources.)<\/p>\n

Hedging in a two-speed market:<\/strong> With markets in this split state \u2014 largely stable but still prone to sudden jolts \u2014 investors are weighing two very different hedging approaches. Some are sticking with short-term trades that make money from sharp intraday swings, while others are shifting to longer-dated contracts in anticipation of a more drawn-out downturn. \u201cWhile we can\u2019t entirely rule out a sudden equity market shock, we expect a more gradual repricing driven by weaker forward guidance \u2014 in essence, a low-volatility bear market,\u201d Antoine Bracq, head of advisory at Lighthouse Canton, told Bloomberg. <\/p>\n

Traders are adjusting to the \u201cTrump put\u201d:<\/strong> Adding to the complexity is the growing view that future tariff-related headlines may carry less punch, given that US President Donald Trump has shown a tendency to soften his tone quickly when markets react negatively \u2014 particularly when the bond market starts flashing warning signs. Bracq says shorting futures might be the most effective hedge in theory, but timing such trades is tricky. \u201cBecause of this, we see a more practical approach in exploiting the current levels of implied volatility.\u201d<\/p>\n

Some hedge funds are turning to less traditional tools<\/strong>, like volatility knock-out (VKO) puts. These over-the-counter instruments provide protection against downward moves but expire worthless if realized volatility crosses a certain threshold. VKOs are around 40-50% cheaper than standard puts, but they offer little to no protection in the event of a panic-driven selloff. <\/p>\n

MARKETS THIS MORNING- <\/p>\n
