smile和skew的判断方式

NO.PZ2022123002000035

问题如下:

Ahlim also expresses interest in trading options on India’s NIFTY 50 (National Stock Exchange Fifty) Index. Ngoc gathers selected one-month option prices and implied volatility data, which are presented in Exhibit 2. India’s NIFTY 50 Index is currently trading at a level of 11,610:

Exhibit 2 Selected one-month option prices and implied volatility data: NIFTY 50 Index (all prices in Indian repees)

Based on Exhibit 2, the NIFTY 50 Index implied volatility data most likely indicate a:

选项:

A.

risk reversal

B.

volatility skew

C.

volatility smile

解释:

Correct Answer: B

When the implied volatility decreases for OTM (out-of-the-money) calls relative to ATM (at-the-money) calls and increases for OTM puts relative to ATM puts, a volatility skew exists. Put volatility is higher, rising from 16.44 ATM to 17.72 OTM, likely because of the higher demand for puts to hedge positions in the index against downside risk. Call volatility decreases from 12.26 for ATM calls to 11.98 for OTM calls since calls do not offer this valuable portfolio insurance.

A is incorrect because a risk reversal is a delta-hedged trading strategy seeking to profit from a change in the relative volatility of calls and puts.

C is incorrect because a volatility smile exists when both call and put volatilities, not just put volatilities, are higher OTM than ATM.

是不是相当于:

对于skew,我们要看OTM的call和ATM的call比是不是implied volatility小,然后OTM的put和ATM的put比是不是implied volatility大;ITM的call和put就不用管了

对于smile,要看OTM的call的implied volatility是不是比ITM的大,然后OTM的put的implied volatility是不是比ITM的
