Top 10 Option Volumes
U.S. stocks finished nearly unchanged on Monday after a turbulent session marked by early declines following weekend U.S. and Israeli airstrikes on Iran, though dip-buying throughout the day helped stabilize the market. The options market saw heavy activity with 59.4 million contracts traded, 55% of which were calls. Tech giants dominated volume, with Nvidia, Tesla, Netflix, Palantir, Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, AMD, Ondas, and Meta ranking as the top 10 most-active names. Palantir stood out with an 8.1% surge on 810,580 option contracts—62% bullish calls—including a 246% gain on $145 strike calls expiring Friday, as investors rewarded its expanding government cloud contracts and recurring-revenue model.
Defense and energy sectors saw unusual options activity as geopolitical tensions escalated, with Raytheon volume spiking to 121,774 contracts—7.2x its 90-day average. Analysts anticipate accelerated defense spending in 2026, with Stifel noting that prolonged conflict with Iran would make budgets "more urgent and less controversial." This pattern reflects the sector's role as a geopolitical barometer, where military conflict typically drives procurement cycles and crisis-driven investment flows.

A little surprised that gold is not as strong as I thought it would be.
So crude and oil would be a good play too.
最坏的情况是，如果发生涉及美国地面部队的全面战争，价格可能会翻倍，甚至达到150美元。
相反，如果停火，“战争”溢价可能会在几天内蒸发，使油价回到73至75美元。

The crude oil outlook for March 2026 is currently dominated by high volatility and a significant "geopolitical risk premium" due to escalating conflict in the Middle East. While long-term fundamentals suggest a surplus, immediate supply fears—specifically regarding the Strait of Hormuz—have pushed prices to multi-month highs.
Current Market Snapshot (March 4, 2026)
WTI Crude: Trading around $76.27 per barrel, up roughly 2.3% on the day.
Brent Crude: Trading near $83.52 per barrel, following a surge of over 12% in the past 48 hours.

中东局势升温，本质上是通胀预期的二次扰动。油价是最直接的传导变量。只要冲突存在“外溢风险”，原油下方空间就很有限，资金不会轻易做深度看空。但另一方面，美国需求并没有爆发式增长，全球经济也谈不上强劲复苏，所以油价要走出趋势性牛市，也缺乏基本面配合。
