Abstract

Desde el comienzo de la pandemia, el mercado de renta variable ha experimentado episodios de alta volatilidad. En alguno de ellos, el uso de derivados con fines especulativos por inversores privados ha sido citado como un factor relevante. En este documento se analizan dos casos concretos: la revalorización de la acción de GameStop, y el rápido ascenso y posterior caída del fondo Archegos Capital. En ambos, el apalancamiento facilitado por los derivados ha generado tensiones en el funcionamiento de segmentos de mercado poco líquidos en forma de ciclos retroalimentados de negociación.
