Open Interest Against 2026-03-20 Knight Option Contracts

Although open interest is a measure utilized in the options markets, it could be used to forecast Knight Transportation's spot prices because the number of available contracts in the market changes daily, and new contracts can be created or liquidated at will. Since open interest in Knight Transportation's options reflects these daily shifts, investors could use the patterns of these changes to develop long and short-term trading strategies for Knight Transportation stock based on available contracts left at the end of a trading day.
