SPX and VIX major expiries

Posted by cart3375 on 19th of Apr 2026 at 05:00 pm

Got this from somewhere also FOREX OPEX 4/20/26:

"When we are in the calendar as proximity to SPX and VIX major expiries help determine whether or not fundamental "news" matters or not. When proximity to expiry is close, the presence of structural product flows, hedging flows, dealer buy backs, Vanna and charm are often too large and powerful that you need tremendous "news" to offset the supportive flows.

But once we are past expiry, the bar for news and fundamentals to matter more is lowered because those supportive flows are much less important. So a piece of news that doesn't really impact indices in the days leading up to an important expiry could actually really impact markets when those supportive flows have dissipated"

Critical Metals (CRML) just secured government approval to lift its stake in Tanbreez Mining Greenland to 92.5%, giving it primary control over one of the world’s largest rare earth deposits.

on the weekly I think Matt noted months back.

ratios inflated from 26 (30Mar) to 35 today. Seems like that would have an impact on earnings season.

Lose a little and keep skin in the game. I understand there are a lot of buy limits the MM want to harvest.

Maybe I need to research it more. I thought it burnt spent fuel rods, which are only burnt 5% down. Low pressure vessels... Thanks

Thorium/Molten Salt Reactors. Seems like the right way to go. Kick Sorensen gives briefings on them on YouTube. OKLO's one.
