Effect of 0DTE presence on ten-minute realised S&P 500 volatility. Every specification is negative. 42,831 observations, January 2018 to May 2022 for the baseline.

Same-day expiry options are blamed for destabilising the market. The only study with a clean natural experiment finds the opposite: on days when 0DTE contracts expire, ten-minute realised volatility runs about 61 annualised basis points lower, roughly 7% below the mean.
