Friday could be a wild day of trading on Wall Street. Here’s why Published Thu, Dec 18 202512:37 PM ESTUpdated Thu, Dec 18 20252:51 PM EST Yun Li Wall Street could be in for a volatile end to the week as traders brace for what Goldman Sachs says will be the largest options expiration on record. Options expiration days are a monthly occurrence on Wall Street when the contracts on short-term derivatives expire. Friday happens to be one of the rare times (four times a year) when options on four types of securities expire on the same day: index options, single stock options, index futures and index futures options. This is called a “quadruple witching” day. More than $7.1 trillion in notional options exposure is set to expire this Friday, according to Goldman, including roughly $5 trillion tied to the S&P 500 index and $880 billion linked to single stocks. December options expirations are typically the biggest of the year, but this one eclipses all prior records, the firm said. To put the scale into context, the options expiring Friday represent notional exposure equal to about 10.2% of the total market capitalization of the Russell 3000, Goldman said. continues at cnbc.com
