Recent volatility in U.S. large-cap equity markets enabled covered call funds like Global X’s XYLD and QYLD to secure some of the highest call option premiums seen in the past year. Although a late-March rebound eased concerns, ongoing uncertainties—including tariff risks—may sustain choppy conditions, supporting the appeal of covered call strategies.34
