  There was a surprising winner from the market carnage that unfolded on Monday: A popular options strategy that bets on calm.

The article from BNN Bloomberg discusses a significant increase in hedge fund options betting, particularly in the technology sector, marking the largest surge since 2020. This uptick in activity is attributed to the volatile market conditions and the anticipation of earnings reports from major tech companies like Microsoft, Apple, and Amazon. Hedge funds are using options to hedge against potential downturns or to capitalize on expected volatility. The piece highlights how the tech sector's recent tumult, driven by economic recovery uncertainties, inflation concerns, and shifts in consumer behavior, has led to heightened options trading. This strategy allows funds to manage risk while potentially reaping substantial rewards from market movements. The article also notes that this trend reflects broader market sentiment, where investors are increasingly turning to derivatives to navigate the unpredictable economic landscape.
