美股看跌期權比率飆升至2年來高位!
uSMART盈立智投 05-24 21:18

期權市場的一大關鍵信號——對衝持有股票虧損的需求近期仍在持續增長。與該需求相關的統計數據顯示,連續七週的調整並未抑制交易員對於對衝下跌行情的配置偏好。事實上,芝加哥期權交易所(CBOE)個股的看跌/看漲期權(put to call)合約比率升至2020年3月以來的最高水平。儘管在標普500指數一度暴跌達19%後,市場對於指數層面的保護意願有所減弱,但交易員們似乎仍非常謹慎,他們可能是爲避免因單一股票價格崩盤而蒙受鉅額虧損。

對美股看跌期權的押注飆升至2020年以來最高水平

本週市場註定動盪

這些交易員的擔憂也許是對的,沃爾瑪(WMT.US)和塔吉特(TGT.US)上週公佈令市場大失所望的業績後,當日股價表現創下自1987年以來最大跌幅,進而帶崩美股大盤。科技巨頭之一思科(CSCO.US)公佈財報後,截至當天收盤股價跌近14%,今日Snap(SNAP.US)更新業績指引後,盤後更是跌超30%,指引顯示該公司Q2業績可能不及此前預測區間的最低值。

本週,好市多(COST.US)、百思買(BBY.US)、梅西百貨(M.US)等零售商的財報數據不容忽視,若這些零售巨頭業績不及預期,屆時可能又將掀起腥風血雨。宏觀數據方面,美國國內生產總值(GDP)修正值將於週四公佈,美聯儲最青睞的通脹指標“核心PCE數據”將於週五壓軸登場,屆時市場波動性或將達到高潮。

週一美股市場表現出較樂觀的風險偏好,三大指數時隔多日全線收漲。但需注意的是,在期權市場,押注市場波動性上升的合約成交量是押注波動性平穩合約成交量的2.2倍,而SPDR標普500指數ETF(SPY.US)看跌期權成交量是看漲期權成交量的1.8倍。

華爾街:反彈只是煙霧彈,市場風險偏好未現實質性回升

美國通脹預期持續高企,美聯儲激進加息已成定局,然而一季度未經修正GDP環比負增長,以及處於通脹一線的零售股近期更是頻繁暴雷,市場對美國經濟的衰退預期不斷上行。美聯儲激進加息很可能殃及美國GDP的核心——消費增長,從市場的反應來看,無論是個人投資者,還是機構投資者,基本上都不相信美聯儲能夠在不傷及美國經濟的情況下控制通脹率。

在華爾街大行傑富瑞的策略師們看來,在美聯儲採取強硬措施抗擊通脹之際,美國經濟的趨勢具有不確定性,這注定了基本面發生實質性扭轉前美股還將有更多大幅度調整,他們分析了標普500指數較此前高點下跌10%、15%、20%和25%後的遠期回報率,追溯到上世紀50年代的分析數據顯示,除非該指數跌破25%重要關口,否則該指數根本無法在一年內收復失地。

傑富瑞策略師Andrew Greenebaum等人在一份報告中寫道:“市場陷入‘無人區’的可能性比觸底的可能性更大。”“儘管在最近的暴跌行情之後,一些投資者可能感覺當前建倉更具積極性(尤其是一些長期資產),但實際上我們認爲,當前股價走勢更多地暗示了巨大風險性,而非風險偏好迴歸。

MLIV Pulse最新調查中的受訪者也認同這一觀點。在1月初至上週五一度下跌19%之後,受訪者普遍認爲標普500指數今年可能會繼續下跌,根據1,009名受訪者的預期中值,該指數將在3,500點左右觸底,這將比上週五收盤點位3,901點下跌超11%。

貝萊德投資研究所的策略師們昨日將包括美國在內的發達國家股市的評級下調至“中性”,理由是對經濟增長和“鷹派”作風美聯儲的擔憂加劇。Jean Boivin等策略師在一份給客戶的報告中寫道:“美聯儲多數官員暗示,其重點是控制通脹,但並沒有指明這將帶來的巨大經濟成本。”只要市場相信這種情況,我們就看不到風險資產持續反彈的基礎。”
