JPMorgan's Volatility Play: Long VIX Calls, Short SPY Puts – SPDR S&P 500 (ARCA:SPY) – Benzinga
JPMorgan’s latest strategy involves purchasing long VIX calls while simultaneously shorting SPY puts. This means they are betting on an increase in market volatility while also hedging against a potential decline in the S&P 500. This move reflects their belief that the market could experience significant fluctuations in the near future. The VIX is a measure of market volatility, while SPY represents the S&P 500 index. JPMorgan’s decision to take this position indicates their confidence in their assessment of market conditions.
