The Options Clearing Corp. is considering implementing stricter margin requirements for Wall Street firms due to the increasing popularity of zero-day options trading. The proposed rules aim to enhance market discipline and address the risks associated with short-term options trading, particularly zero-day options, which account for half of the S&P 500's total options trading volume. Industry supervisors are seeking to manage risk exposure and ensure market stability through these new regulations, pending approval from the Securities and Exchange Commission.
