Risks

  • Open interest figures are current as of June 5, which limits the timeliness of position data relative to intraday trading activity - this affects the clarity of outstanding exposures in derivatives markets.
  • Elevated three-month volatility (up 8.66 percentage points to 86.56%) indicates larger implied price swings priced into options, increasing potential option premium risk for traders and market-makers.
  • A decline in the three-month 90/110 skew by 1.97 percentage points to -0.45 percentage points suggests changing relative pricing between out-of-the-money calls and puts, introducing uncertainty for strategies that rely on skew stability.
