Stock Investors Are Hedging a Drop. Strategists See a Buy Signal

The S&P 500 has been stuck in a range for the better part of four months, and investors are paying up to protect against the possibility that the next big move is down. To a growing number of strategists, that pessimism is cause to expect the opposite.

WHAT THIS MEANS
L'S&P 500 è rimasto in un intervallo di trading per quattro mesi, con investitori che acquistano coperture contro possibili ribassi. Gli strategisti interpretano questo eccesso di pessimismo come un segnale contrario che potrebbe preludere a un rimbalzo rialzista. La diffusa copertura dei rischi da parte degli investitori crea condizioni di mercato potenzialmente favorevoli per un movimento al rialzo.
