Apple shares hit a new high on a 30% rally
Almost 900,000 options traded in the first half of the Wednesday session. Daily volumes shifted toward calls as the put-to-call ratio dropped to 0.87.
Apple shares hit a new all-time high on Wednesday, extending their 2026 rally to 30%. The stock shrugged off a heavy tech selloff, a bear market in semiconductors, and new interest rate anxiety. CNBC reported that traders turned to the stock as a safe harbor in the tech sector.
Almost 900,000 options changed hands during the first half of the Wednesday trading session. That volume included nearly 500,000 calls and 370,000 puts. Traders had piled into puts ahead of the company earnings earlier this month.
As the stock bounced back, the put-to-call open-interest ratio fell from 0.95 to 0.87. Daily trading volumes shifted heavily toward calls as market sentiment improved.
