While many traders — from mom-and-pops to systematic hedge funds — are using zero-day-to-expiry listed options, large investors have increasingly turned to over-the-counter binary contracts that can hedge tail risks across multiple assets. It's an all-or-nothing play: in exchange for a premium, the trade either returns 100% or nothing. While critics say it's more akin to betting on a sporting event than traditional options trading, the reality is that such a binary payoff is extremely useful to investors focused on hitting target returns within strict risk limits.

Modi finds himself on a stronger footing after the Maharashtra elections. This reverses the tide from the general elections that had, just five months ago, snatched the single-party majority his government had enjoyed since 2014. While allies have given no reason yet to suspect NDA's stability at the Centre, BJP found its big picture shaken and stirred. For this reason, this claw-back story is important. In the 2024 Lok Sabha polls, the big dent in BJP numbers came from defeats in UP, Maharashtra, Haryana and West Bengal. Over the past five months, BJP has made a strong comeback in two states — Maharashtra and Haryana — while showing shoots of a recovery in UP, where it won 7 of the 9 assembly bypolls. More significantly, it wrested two seats from SP, which had fallen vacant after the party pulled out MLAs to contest parliamentary elections. BJP, along with RSS, doubled down soon after Lok Sabha polls. It also did some serious post-mortem of the results, made tactical micro-level shifts, continued to focus on women-centric welfare schemes, and ran a bottom-up campaign. But the entire effort rested on a key assumption that the 'Modi vote' had turned complacent. Or, had split up in some parts of the country in the general elections and needed to be stitched back and drawn out. In Maharashtra, particularly, where the assembly turnout jumped by nearly 6% from the Lok Sabha polls, BJP can now believe that the overarching 'Modi narrative' still holds good.

Maharashtra but there is no end to the suspense on who the next chief minister will be. For the second time in the last four days, a meeting of the Mahayuti leaders had to be cancelled on Monday due to the unavailability of caretaker chief minister Eknath Shinde. He was taking rest at his Thane residence as per doctor's advice. Shinde on Sunday had said that he and the two deputy CMs (BJP's Devendra Fadnavis and NCP chief Ajit Pawar) would take forward the discussions on the CMs post, distribution of portfolios and party-wise berths in the new Cabinet on Monday. The three Mahayuti leaders held their first meeting in Delhi last week in the presence of Union home minister Amit Shah and BJP chief J P Nadda but failed to reach a consensus on power-sharing agreement. The much-awaited second meeting of the Mahayuti leaders last Friday was put on hold after Shinde suddenly flew to his native village Dare in Satara district citing ill health.

Trump's determination to crash over traditional governmental guardrails will present a fundamental test of whether the Republican-controlled Senate can maintain its constitutional role as an independent institution and a check on presidential power. With Trump putting forward a raft of contentious prospective nominees and threatening to challenge congressional authority in other ways, Republicans who will hold the majority come January could find themselves in the precarious position of having to choose between standing up for their institution or bowing to a president dismissive of government norms. The clearest and most immediate point of tension is likely to be Trump's efforts to skip the Senate's traditional confirmation process to install loyalists, including some with checkered backgrounds, in his Cabinet. But the president-elect has also signaled he expects Republicans on Capitol Hill to accede to his wishes on policy, even if that means ceding Congress' control over federal spending. Both are powers explicitly given to the legislative branch in the Constitution.
