Barclays Warns of Market Bubble Signs After U.S. Election

Investing.com -- Barclays analysts have cautioned that signs of a market bubble are appearing in the wake of the U.S. presidential election, driven by retail investor exuberance and increased speculative activity.The firm highlighted that"euphoria in the crypto market has spilled over to other sectors of the equity markets that are generally perceived to be darlings of the retail investors community.

Barclays also flagged a surge in options trading."Option volume on US stocks recently increased by 50% to $459 billion in the first week post-elections," noted the analysts.Additionally, the bank pointed to inverted skew in options pricing on"unprofitable" stocks as a potential sign of froth. Inverted skew signals strong demand for upside exposure—a hallmark of speculative bullishness, according to Barclays.

The analysts underscored the risk of this speculative fervor spilling over to broader markets, particularly against the backdrop of geopolitical risks, such as escalating tensions in the Russia-Ukraine conflict.While market exuberance often accompanies election cycles, Barclays urged caution, warning that the rapid rise in speculative activity in retail-dominated segments could lead to increased volatility in the coming months.
