US Top News and Analysis | AI super rally has retail investors acting the most aggressive since trading frenzy during Covid

AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

Retail traders are showing their most aggressive bullish behavior since the Covid‑driven surge, snapping up call options on Cboe’s “Mag 10” stocks (the seven mega‑caps plus AMD, Palantir and Broadcom) at the strongest 10‑day pace since 2021, with 52% of new positions being call‑buys and only 17% call‑sells, indicating a shift away from hedging. Call premiums on out‑of‑the‑money Nasdaq‑100 contracts have risen to a 52‑week high, and the index has set a new record, up more than 16% year‑to‑date, propelled by a semiconductor rally that now comprises nearly 20% of the S&P 500. This concentration has driven options traders toward single‑stock bets, widening the Cboe S&P 500 Constituent Volatility Index relative to the VIX, while Robinhood data shows retail investors heavily buying tech giants such as Nvidia, Tesla, Micron, AMD and Microsoft and shorting laggards like Costco, UnitedHealth and Alibaba.

US Top News and Analysis | Wall Street's 'fear gauge' is doing something unusual. What it means

AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

The article notes an unusual pattern in the options market: while the S&P 500 reached record highs, the Cboe Volatility Index (VIX) remained near 20, indicating that investor fear hasn’t eased even as stocks rise. This “VIX‑up/Stocks‑up” scenario can signal underlying caution—such as concerns about geopolitical risks like the Iran war and oil prices—suggesting potential short‑term pullbacks as realized volatility catches up. At the same time, a bullish reading emerges from options activity, where traders are paying high premiums for upside calls on fast‑gaining semiconductor and tech stocks, exemplified by a $2.4 million purchase of Marvell Technology call contracts betting on further gains. The inflated call buying helps keep the VIX elevated despite the rally, reflecting a mix of hedging and optimism in the market.
