Viewpoint: The Federal Reserve will release its policy meeting minutes, while market liquidity remains sluggish and sentiment is pessimistic.
According to Odaily, Greeks.live macro researcher Adam posted on X that at 3 a.m. tomorrow, the minutes of the Federal Reserve's monetary policy meeting will provide detailed disclosures of FOMC members' discussions on the economy, inflation, and interest rate outlook. After the annual options settlement last Friday, block trades still account for a relatively high proportion, which is related to the inactivity of retail investors from Christmas to New Year's Day and the need to open new positions after settlement. Due to poor performance in the fourth quarter, the recent Put Block ratio has remained at a high level. IV has not yet rebounded, and it is expected that IV will rebound after market participants return next week. Overall, market liquidity is relatively sluggish, sentiment is pessimistic, and there are few opportunities this week; selling options to earn Theta is a better choice.
