Tom, this always happens just before important economic releases, but i agree it usually means we will rally on the economic data that are coming out. still, the overall put/call ratios are near all time lows. the 10-dma of the CBOE p/c ratio recently hit the lowest point since '87.
another facet of this is that in '87 the index p/c ratios also went up sharply just before the market tanked.

however, this apparent concern about tomorrow's data probably points to a rally.

regards,

hb

There's been extremely high index hedging thanks to Y2K. If you look at the Nasdaq 100, the ratio is much more lopsided in favor of puts, sometimes 4-to-1 or 6-to-1 in recent days.
