Politics and the Put/Call Ratio

As of this writing (6:15AM CST 7/7/25), markets seem awfully calm despite Trump’s ever changing tariff policy.

That said, I generally consider the CBOE Put/Call Ratio to be a contrarian indicator, meaning that if investors are buying far more calls than puts, that could signal a top in the market.

This is especially true if that ratio falls to a historically low level such as the current 0.61.
