Options activity is exploding on the trade war:

The S&P 500 ETF's, $SPY, put options volume spiked to 7.94 million contracts on Tuesday, the third-highest on record.

Volume has doubled since the trade war commenced.

At the same time, Nasdaq 100, $QQQ, put options volume hit the highest level in history, according to Goldman Sachs.

Interestingly, the previous 2 volume highs in 2022 and early 2023 were posted near short-term bottoms.
