Investors can now trade commodities and a Treasury with a popular short-term options strategy.
The Nasdaq recently launched five zero-day options-based exchange-traded funds: United States Oil Fund (USO) , United States Natural Gas Fund (UNG) , SPDR Gold Shares (GLD) , iShares Silver Trust (SLV) and iShares 20+ year Treasury Bond ETF (TLT) .
It has taken the options market by storm.
The surge in activity surrounding zero-day options has some analysts worried about a negative impact on the market.
"I don't think the tools themselves are inherently breaking the market," Nadig said.
