The PM Pulse 042

Three takeaways stood out from Aaron Courtney (@probaaron)’s analysis on last night’s NFL opener:

Trader Notes chart, The PM Pulse 042
  1. About 10 minutes after Sam Darnold left the game, takers bought 1.2M New England contracts in a single minute.
  2. After the final whistle, Seattle holders sold 572k contracts at 99¢ rather than wait for the $1 settlement – whoever was resting at 99¢ earned the last cent on every fill.
  3. Of 58.8M contracts traded across both markets, 11.0M printed before kickoff and 47.8M during the game.
