Since open interest in Lincoln Electric's options reflects these daily shifts, investors could use the patterns of these changes to develop long and short-term trading strategies for Lincoln Electric stock based on available contracts left at the end of a trading day.
Please note that to derive more accurate forecasting about market movement from the current Lincoln Electric's open interest, investors have to compare it to Lincoln Electric's spot prices.
