Volatility Trends in NDX Options & Relationship to SPX

from Schwab Network · host Schwab Network

Always keep an eye on options even if you don't use them, says Kevin Davitt of Nasdaq. He turns to index data tied to straddles and volatility to help explain why bullish activity in options is vastly outweighing downside risks in the current market environment. That will change if inflation and jobs data becomes less benign in the coming weeks, argues Kevin. He also examines what he considers a key relationship between Nasdaq-100 (NDX) and S&P 500 (SPX) options volatility. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.
