Options Traders Are Really Bearish on Gold -- WSJ

Dow Jones

03/24

By Krystal Hur

Traders in the options market are betting on further declines in gold prices, with the ongoing Middle East conflict stoking inflation fears.

A measure called "skew" for options tied to the biggest gold exchange-traded fund, GLD, rose to its highest level since at least 2021, Cboe Global Markets data showed. A higher skew typically signals that prices for bearish put options are more expensive relative to bullish call options. Puts offer the right to sell an option at a set price, while calls offer the right to buy.

The risk of stagflation, or a scenario in which economic growth stagnates while inflation rises, has risen due to the Iran War, wrote Mandy Xu, Cboe's head of derivatives market intelligence, in a note.
