MIAX® Is Making Volatility Trading More Accessible To Retail Investors With Its Volatility Products: SPIKES Options, Futures, And ETFs

Benzinga

By Rachael Green, Benzinga With persistent inflation and the aggressive interest rate hikes from the Federal Reserve, the stock market in 2022 experienced its most volatile year since 2009. The S&P 500 has been on a shaky decline since January 2022, and despite a few short-lived rebounds, it was down 19.4% at the end of 2022. Intraday volatility — the percentage change in share price from market open to market close — averaged 1.84% in 2022, compared to its 40-year average of 1.3%. Since volatility is often negatively correlated with equities — when equity prices decline, volatility increases — using a volatility index to hedge portfolios with profitable trades based on volatility assumptions is becoming an increasingly popular way for investors to make lemonade out of lemons and turn market swings into profitable trades. To make this kind of volatility trading strategy accessible to more investors, MIAX, a technology-driven leader that builds and operates regulated exchanges, is developing a portfolio of trading products based on the SPIKES® Volatility Index (SPIKE). What the SPIKES Index does differently and why that matters MIAX collaborated with T3 Index to create products based on the SPIKES Index. The SPIKES Index is intended to provide an improved measure of equity market volatility and act as an alternative to the Chicago Board Options Exchange’s Volatility Index (VIX). The SPIKES Volatility Index tracks SPY options to measure the expected 30-day volatility in the SPDR S&P 500 Exchange Traded Fund (ETF), the most actively traded ETF in the world. By tracking SPY options rather than the SPX options, with the latter used by VIX, and by pulling pricing data from all 16 U.S. options exchanges rather than just the Chicago Board Options Exchange (Cboe), SPIKES seeks more accurate, real-time pricing data to use as a basis for its volatility measure. Its proprietary price-dragging technique for capturing live options prices also aims to offer more precise and stable index movements by using the pricing data from actual trades rather than approximating prices based on the midpoint of the bid-ask spread of the options. These methodology features and the fact that it updates every 100 milliseconds rather than every 15 seconds are among the key reasons MIAX built its ecosystem of volatility trading products around the SPIKES Index. SPIKES Options and Futures While investors cannot invest directly in the SPIKES Index, MIAX offers a portfolio of products based on the index that traders can use to trade their volatility assumptions. The SPIKES options and futures offered by MIAX, turn volatility into a tradeable asset class. Trading in penny increments since October 1, 2022, SPIKES Options and Futures are designed to be more cost-efficient by offering the potential for reduced trading costs, tighter bid/ask spreads, and improved execution prices. Investors feeling anxious about current market conditions can use SPIKES Options (SPIKE) for downside protection by buying call options that could increase in value in the event of a market decline. In futures trading, investors can hedge their positions with SPIKES Futures (SPK): when taking a long position in S&P futures, they can buy long SPIKES Futures to hedge against potential losses since the volatility index is negatively correlated with the market. Investors, however, are not limited to hedging strategies. SPIKES Futures can also be used to trade term structure. Term structure refers to the relationship between implied volatility and time to expiration in futures contracts. If futures prices are trending up, an upward-sloping term structure suggests that volatility is currently lower than it’s anticipated to be in the future. If futures prices are trending down, a downward-sloping term structure suggests volatility is currently higher than it’s anticipated to be in the future. For traders, then, a basic term structure strategy is to buy futures during downward slopes (when expected future volatility is lower) and sell (or short) them during upward slopes (when expected future volatility is higher). SPIKES Volatility ETFs The latest addition to the SPIKES ecosystem, Convexity Shares 1x SPIKES Futures ETF (SPKX) and Convexity Shares Daily 1.5x SPIKES Futures ETF (SPKY), launched on August 16, 2022. Intended as an alternative way for traders to hedge or capitalize on volatility, the SPKX and SPKY seek to match the performance of the SPIKE Front 2 Futures Index, which tracks the returns from a daily rolling long position in the SPIKES Futures contracts traded on the Minneapolis Grain Exchange (MGEX™).

Average Viewers For NFL Wild Card Weekend Drop By 4.7% YoY

Finance News

The TV ratings for NFL Wild Card Weekend are in and the numbers don’t look good for the league’s new postseason format. According to the data experts at The Sports Daily, viewership for NFL Super Wild Card Weekend is down 4.7 percent year-over-year and ratings took an even bigger hit with a 5.9 percent drop compared to 2022. For the second straight year, the game slotted into the late-Sunday window had the best viewership numbers and household rating. The New York Giants and Minnesota Vikings drew in 33.2 million viewers, the most of any Wild Card game in 2023. Despite its overall success, the numbers represented a massive 20 percent drop in viewership compared to the 49ers-Cowboys Wild Card game from the same time slot in 2022. NFL Super Wild Card Weekend Viewership Down 4.7%, Ratings Down 5.9% NFL Super Wild Card Weekend was filled with drama, storylines, record-setting comebacks, and stunning upsets. While several games came down to the wire, football fans seemed less enthusiastic about the start of the NFL Playoffs compared to a year ago. Overall, viewership numbers for the NFL Wild Card round are expected to be down by 4.7 percent YoY. After averaging 29.7 million viewers in 2022, NFL Wild Card weekend garnered just 28.3 million viewers in 2023. Of course, those numbers are still up from the NFL’s first Super Wild Card Weekend in 2021, which drew an all-time low 24.2 million average viewers. However, ratings are still down from 2020 (30.5 million) and 2019 (28.6 million), the last two years before the NFL expanded its playoff format. Rating also took a considerable hit in 2023, dropping by an average of 5.9 percent year-over-year. The late time slots on Saturday and Sunday suffered the biggest declines, dropping by 20 percent (Sunday, Late) and 21.97 percent (Saturday, Late), respectively. On the other hand, the Monday Night Football game had the biggest increase with viewership sky-rocketing by 32.5 percent. The jump can be attributed to two of the NFL’s biggest draws (Cowboys and Tom Brady) being in action. Giants @ Vikings Ranks As Most-Watched Game On NFL Super Wild Card Weekend With 33.2 million viewers, the Giants-Vikings game in the late window on Sunday had the most viewers of any game during NFL Super Wild Card weekend. The game also finished with the highest household rating at 16.28. Despite being the most-watched Wild Card game of 2023, viewership was down 20 percent and household rating was down 21.7 percent year-over year. Part of the reason for that is the 2021 Wild Card matchup between the 49ers and Cowboys averaged a whopping 41.5 viewers, making it the most-watched Wild Card game since 2015. That game also produced a 20.8 rating, a difficult mark to reach during the Wild Card round. Overall, FOX had the most successful weekend in 2023, thanks in large part to the Giants-Vikings game. However, the battle for No. 2 was much closer. CBS currently owns the No. 2 spot with an average of 30.9 million viewers for the Dolphins-Bills, however, the Cowboys-Bucs are expected to top that number when official figures are released. Initial estimates project the Cowboys and Buccaneers for 30.6 million viewers, which would make it Disney’s most-watched NFL Playoff game since 1999. Check out how the TV ratings changed compared to 2021 below. Buffalo, Kansas City, & Cincinnati Top Local Ratings List All eyes were on the Bills last weekend. Buffalo had the highest local ratings of any US market during Super Wild Card Weekend, drawing a rating of 47.2. Even though the Chiefs weren’t in action, fans in Kansas City tuned into the opening round of the NFL Playoffs at the second-highest rate. Kansas City drew a 28.2 local rating, the second-highest of any US market. Cincinnati, West Palm Beach, and New Orleans were next on the list of markets with the highest local ratings. Just missing out on the top-five, Ft Myers-Naples came in at No. 6 on the list. Meanwhile, Miami-Ft Lauderdale did not even make the top-10, a sign that Dolphins’ fans weren’t heavily invested in the team’s Super Bowl run without Tua Tagovailoa. Check out the top-5 markets in local rating during NFL Wild Card Weekend. Buffalo Kansas City Cincinnati West Palm Beach New Orleans Disney’s NFL Wild Card Game Viewership Up 32% To Highest Mark Ever Even though the overall numbers were down, Disney’s NFL Wild Card game turned out to be a smashing success. With an average audience of approximately 30.6 million Americans, viewership is up 32 percent YoY. Once official numbers are released, Disney is projected to add a few hundred thousand viewers to its total. As a result, the Cowboys-Bucs game is expected to be the network’s most-watched NFL Playoff game ever. Last year, the Cardinals-Rams game on ESPN/ABC drew an average of just 23.15 million viewers, the lowest mark for an NFL Wild Card game on Disney since 2019.

Although he is no longer here with us, his humanity and kind soul will continue to guide and inspire us. His legacy will continue to live on through his legendary music. Peace, love, and harmony to all who knew David and those he touched. We will miss him dearly. At this time, we respectfully and kindly ask for privacy as we grieve and try to deal with our profound loss. Thank you for the love and prayers.
