A concise weekly overview of the U.S. equities and derivatives markets

Last week (August 16 – August 20), each of the major U.S. equity indices was lower, as “reopening” companies (airlines, leisure, etc.) underperformed the “stay at home” stocks. European and Chinese equities sold off harder than U.S. stocks. In terms of sector performance, Energy continues to lag and the Energy Select Index fell 7.25%. Materials declined by 3.3%. Health Care was higher by 1.9% and Utilities climbed 1.7%. In short, defensive stocks held up, while more cyclical names came under pressure. The Dollar Index was strong last week on the heels of the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting minutes release.

The S&P 500 Index lost approximately 3% relative to its high water mark, but ended the week less than 2% off highs. 

Most traders do not think in terms of a year, let alone a decade. By contrast, many investors do focus on longer time horizons, so the current market backdrop is likely appealing to investors. The S&P 500® Index is approaching 200 days since the last drawdown of 5% or more on a closing basis. Take a look back to the period just before the 2020 U.S. Presidential election for a sustained selloff in the broad market. 

The Cboe Mini-Russell 2000 Index option contract, known by its symbol MRUT, is an index option product designed to track the underlying Russell 2000 Index. At 1/10 the size of the standard Russell 2000 options contract, MRUT provides greater flexibility and precision for small cap U.S. equity trading strategies, and for new index options traders or traders managing an individual portfolio.
