Fear of missing out on stocks’ rally drives bullish options trading

Fear of missing out on the recent stock market rally is driving traders in the U.S. equity options market to lap up bullish derivative contracts at a hectic pace, further fueling gains for stocks, analysts said on Friday.

The rush into call options lifted the S&P 500 Index’s 1-month moving average of calls-to-puts to the highest in at least 4 years, according to Trade Alert data. The index is up about 15% year-to-date, while the tech heavy Nasdaq 100 Index has gained 39%. Some of the rush into call options has also helped fuel the rally, said Brent Kochuba, founder of options analytic service SpotGamma.
