Impact of Options Market on Investment Flow

The options market has become a significant factor in shaping investment flows and overall market volatility. It is highlighted that approximately $20 trillion, or 50% of the investable market, operates based on systematic strategies that do not consider traditional fundamentals or economic indicators. This reliance on algorithm-driven trading creates correlations that can drive broader market trends, particularly within the S&P 500. Thus, a major understanding is that many market participants may be operating under rules that completely overlook essential economic fundamentals.
