SPY Event-Driven Fade with Confirmation Strategy
Created
Thesis
Everyone is scared of Wednesday's rate hike — stocks fell all last week and futures are down — but that means the bad news is largely baked in. The hot inflation report that triggered hike expectations also confirms the economy is growing, and top strategists are renewing bullish equity calls on exactly that logic. Historically, fully-priced Fed events have been buy-the-news setups when growth is intact, so fading the pre-meeting pessimism on broad indices offers favorable odds into and just after the decision.
Strategy approach
Everyone is scared of Wednesday's rate hike — stocks fell all last week and futures are down — but that means the bad news is largely baked in. The hot inflation report that triggered hike expectations also confirms the economy is growing, and top strategists are renewing bullish equity calls on exactly that logic. Historically, fully-priced Fed events have been buy-the-news setups when growth is intact, so fading the pre-meeting pessimism on broad indices offers favorable odds into and just after the decision. Decision analysis profile: leveraged. Required dimensions: company_view, instrument_view, contract_identity, event_expiry_timing, implied_volatility_expected_move, theta, breakeven_payoff, maximum_loss, liquidity_spread_volatility, simpler_alternatives.
