Nasdaq has introduced new short-term options contracts that expire on Wednesdays, allowing bets on non-stock products like the United States Oil Fund (USO). The rise of short-term options trading has sparked divided opinions on Wall Street, with concerns about potential additional volatility. This expansion of short-dated options, popular with hedge funds and retail traders, is now extending beyond stocks into other asset classes, including exchange traded products like the United States Natural Gas Fund (UNG), SPDR Gold Shares (GLD), and iShares Silver Trust (SLV). The move reflects the growing trend of short-term options trading and its potential impact on market dynamics and risk.
