- News rows refresh roughly every 30 minutes during the trading day. The five most recent headlines are listed in publication-time order. Press releases from the company itself typically appear within minutes of the wire release; third-party reporting may lag by 30-60 minutes depending on the source.
- What MCR news moves options pricing?
- Three categories move single-name IV most aggressively: scheduled earnings releases (priced into pre-event IV, crushed post-event), unscheduled M&A or strategic announcements (rapid IV expansion, slower decay), and regulatory or legal events (drug-trial readouts, antitrust filings, FDA approvals). Routine news flow (analyst commentary, sector rotation) typically does not move IV meaningfully unless it triggers a cluster of rating changes.
- How can I track unusual MCR options activity related to news?
- Unusual options activity often precedes news by hours to days; the canonical signals are volume substantially above the trailing average concentrated in a small number of strikes, atypical put/call skew, and aggressive execution (at-the-ask sweeps or block prints). Cross-reference the per-ticker gamma-exposure and volume-history pages with the news flow above to triangulate informed vs uninformed flow.
