Be cautious of the "October volatility" in the US stock market! Goldman Sachs warns: history shows it is more turbulent than other months.

According to the Zhitong Finance APP, the market is closely watching the Federal Reserve's next interest rate adjustment measure, while an important financial reporting season is also drawing near, and the threat of a government shutdown in the United States is becoming more serious. In this context, US stocks will face another risk factor. According to the derivatives team at Goldman Sachs, the historical price volatility of the S&P 500 index in October is about 20% higher than in other months. The Goldman team prefers to buy short-term options on trading days with catalysts, while avoiding buying volatility contracts during non-event periods, in order to take advantage of the volatile market during this financial reporting season.
