Open Interest Against 2026-03-20 Hanover Option Contracts

Although open interest is a measure utilized in the options markets, it could be used to forecast Hanover Insurance'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 Hanover Insurance's options reflects these daily shifts, investors could use the patterns of these changes to develop long and short-term trading strategies for Hanover Insurance stock based on available contracts left at the end of a trading day.

As Ford's stock price increases, high open interest indicates that money is entering the market, and the market is strongly bullish. Conversely, if the price of Hanover Insurance is decreasing and there is high open interest, that is a sign that the bearish trend will continue, and investors may react by taking short positions in Hanover.
