Here is a thread/key insights if you missed this week's AD Derivatives Newsletter written by Greg Magadini, CFA, Director of Derivatives at Amberdata 🧵 1️⃣ MACRO: This week is shaping up to be significant in the macroeconomic landscape. The Democratic National Convention (DNC) in Chicago is the big event to watch. Expect policy reveals from Kamala Harris’s team. Recent economic proposals, like price controls and housing subsidies, have been seen as inflationary, pushing GOLD prices higher. 📈 GOLD Prices: Strong upward trend GOLD Volatility: Rising, reflecting market uncertainty 2️⃣ Inflation Impact on Gold & Crypto: While inflation is boosting gold, Bitcoin’s performance is lagging. The Democratic ticket's bearish stance on crypto may explain this divergence. Trading Insight: If Harris’s policies disappoint, we might see a local bottom in crypto, potentially setting up a buying opportunity. 3️⃣ Jackson Hole: Friday’s Jackson Hole Symposium is another key event. With interest rate cuts expected in September, Fed Chair Powell’s speech could hint at future monetary policy. Given last week’s favorable CPI, expect a dovish tone from Powell. 4️⃣ Equity Market Recovery: Equity volatility has faded after the August 5th spike. The SPX is in a “V” recovery, but caution is warranted. More volatility may arise as we approach the November election. 5️⃣ Crypto Market: Bitcoin continues to struggle despite the equity rally, likely due to the US Government’s BTC movements signaling potential selling pressure. However, volatility has calmed down. 6️⃣ Election Volatility: The market is pricing in an election premium, especially between late October and early November. A spike in Trump’s re-election odds post-DNC could trigger a Bitcoin rally. We can see that the forward volatility premium wasn’t present before the August 5th VIX explosion higher (below). 7️⃣ Trading Opportunities: Consider trading strategies that capitalize on election volatility. Owning October gamma, financed by November vega, could be a profitable diagonal structure. Retail interest in BTC remains strong, with put selling and call buying dominating recent trades. 8️⃣ Dealer Gamma Inventory: Dealers are mostly long gamma below current BTC prices but short on significant call exposures at key strikes (60k, 70k, 100k). A poor Harris performance at the DNC could lead to a BTC bottom, presenting a potential trade setup.
