Options Action: VIX Futures Hint at Volatile Q4 Amid Low Liquidity Sell-Off
Description
Russell Rhoads discusses today's options action, saying Friday's sell-off was likely exacerbated by low liquidity and a lack of decision-makers on trading desks ahead of the long weekend. With the VIX still elevated, Rhoads notes that short-dated straddles are pricing in limited near-term volatility, but VIX futures are suggesting a potentially more volatile fourth quarter.
