Top 20 Equity Options Traded
in July 2022
August 3, 2022
A rising tide lifts all boats in July. We saw a reversal of the 3-month downward slide with massive gains across the board last month. The S&P rose 9.12% which was the best month since Nov 2020. The Dow added 6.73% and the Nasdaq gained 12.35% which was the best month since April 2020. Traders decided that the tech sector had been beaten down enough with Apple, Amazon, Microsoft and Google all announcing strong earnings. The forward-looking market also appears to be pricing in a more dovish Fed outlook after a 75 basis point increase in interest rates in the last week of the month. Here is a chart comparing relative ETF performance of the Dow, Nasdaq and S&P for the month.
