TWIFO 496: Live from OIC 2026 | Equity Surges & Volatility Shocks

Live from the Options Industry Conference (OIC) 2026 in Palm Beach, Florida, host Mark Longo brings you a special "Just the Facts" edition of This Week in Futures Options.

The markets are hitting a fever pitch as we balance a 50/50 split between "light side" gainers and "dark side" laggards. We break down the massive institutional volume at CME Group, from the surprising rally in Rough Rice to the heavy retreat in the Energy complex.

On the Docket:

  • Movers & Shakers: A look at the NASDAQ 100, Bitcoin, and Silver gains vs. the sharp drops in Brent, WTI, and RBOB.

  • Equity Spotlight: The E-Mini S&P 500 is "kissing strikes" we've never seen. We analyze the 3.3 million contracts on the tape and the massive 0DTE (zero day) flow.

  • NASDAQ Analysis: Why traders are eyeing the 26,000 puts for a potential near-term reversal.

  • OIC 2026 Trends: Brief insights on 24-hour trading, crypto, and AI from the conference floor.
