BlackRock Says $9 Trillion in Cash Is Rapidly Flowing Back Into Risk Assets, Multiple Events This Week May Amplify Market Volatility
BlockBeats news, on June 16, Rick Rieder, Chief Investment Officer of Global Fixed Income at BlackRock, stated that following a peace arrangement between the United States and Iran, approximately $8 trillion to $9 trillion that had been parked in money market funds is accelerating its return to risk assets, and claimed that this process may have an "explosive" effect.
Driven by capital flows, both US stocks and US Treasury bonds rose simultaneously on Monday, while oil prices fell due to expectations of a reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. Rieder believes that current liquidity is spreading from low-risk instruments to broader assets, and expects that new Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh may focus more on balance sheet and money supply management, rather than relying solely on short-term interest rate tools.
Meanwhile, the derivatives market is approaching a dense event window. Due to the Juneteenth market holiday on June 19, this week’s "triple witching day" is brought forward to Thursday, combined with the S&P 500 quarterly rebalancing, raising volatility risk in US equities.
In addition, SpaceX-related options are expected to begin trading on Tuesday. Market participants believe that, driven by retail capital, related contracts may heat up rapidly, and even trigger a "gamma squeeze" through concentrated buying of call options.
SpotGamma founder Brent Kochuba warned that, against the backdrop of continued gains in US stocks since April, market makers are facing mounting hedging pressure; if Warsh delivers a surprisingly strong signal in his first press conference, the market has almost no buffer to absorb the shock.
The S&P 500 Index's quarterly rebalance will also take effect after Thursday’s market close, with Marvell Technology (MRVL) and Flex (FLEX) being added to the index, and Pool (POOL) and Campbell‘s (CPB) being removed.
