As the market gears up for a volatile end to the week, investors are bracing for the impact of ‘Triple Witching’ day, a quarterly event that historically stirs market turbulence. With trillions of dollars in options expiring simultaneously, experts are expecting a wave of volatility, potentially jeopardizing the recent market rally fueled by the Fed’s rate cut.
Results for: Triple Witching
