NORGES BANK holds a position with no prior filing to compare against, so its change is unknown rather than zero — and it is left out of the totals above.

From 13F filings, which cover institutions managing over $100m and are filed up to 45 days after the quarter ends — so this is a considered position, not a live one, and it is not the whole shareholder register.

Computed from the listed option chain by my own aggregation, once, after the close — it describes where positioning sat that evening and does not update through the next session. The version that rebuilds per strike while the market is open is the intraday gamma product. Not investment advice.
