Friday is Triple Witching

This Friday 9/15/23 is the quarterly event known as triple witching. The simultaneous expiration of three different types of derivative contracts happen. Triple witching is when the expiration of stock options, stock index futures, and stock index options all fall on the same day. This results in higher than average volume and volatility. Institutional investors trade contracts worth trillions of dollars. The witching hour 3-4pm, before the closing bell, sees the most trading activity.
