China and U.S. trade talks that ended in lower tariffs for both, triggered an onslaught of upbeat sentiment for the broader market, sending stocks significantly higher to start the week. Not all were so lucky, however, as investors retreated from safe haven assets, sending the likes of mining giant Newmont Corporation (NYSE:NEM) lower.

As last check NEM is off 4.9% to trade at $51.33, headed for its worst daily percentage drop since early April. Despite today's pullback and overhead pressure at the 30-day moving average, the equity sports a 20% year-over-year win.

Options traders were bullish heading into today. The equity's 50-day call/put volume ratio of 4.27 at the International Securities Exchange (ISE), Cboe Options Exchange (CBOE), and NASDAQ OMX PHLX (PHLX) ranks higher than 78% of readings from the past year.

Short-term traders have been leaning bullish as well. This is per NEM's Schaeffer's put/call open interest ratio (SOIR) of 0.61 that sits in the 34th percentile of annual readings. A further unwinding of this optimism could weigh on the shares.

Newmont stock has also outperformed options traders' volatility expectations over the last 12 months, making this an excellent opportunity to weigh in with options. This is per its Schaeffer's Volatility Scorecard (SVS) of 82 out of 100.
