Friday was third Friday of the month of December so ‘triple witching day’! You’ll get volatility in share prices on these days particularly in the last hour of trading. Triple witching is when the expiration of stock options, stock index futures, and stock index options all fall on the same day. It only happens four times a year, on the third Friday of March, June, September and December which can create a spike in trading volume and volatility. See what happens Monday now the date has passed. NOT to be confused with ‘quadruple witching day’ which is a different stock market day on the calendar.
