📝Trump's Conviction Did Not Move Election Volatility: Barclays Strategy

With US presidential election five

months away (i.e. on 5-Nov), activity in

November options appears modest vs

contracts in its vicinity, suggesting little

interest in trading the elections.

Interestingly, this was still the case

after the conviction of Trump. This

indicates that the sentence did not

materially change the calculus of voters

heading into the election, according to

option investors. - Barclays Strategy
