Good morning!
Futures are slightly higher this morning. Tesla stock is helping the futures, up about 2% on the news of a new CEO hire. As of now, it’s looking like the market will once again put in a sideways week. That will continue a trend that’s lasted since the beginning of April. In fact, SPY realized vol (how much the market has actually moved) over the past 30 days is just 13. Compare that to its 1-year realized vol of 22 to see just how much the market moves of the past have come to a screeching halt. And looking forward, as low as IV seems, it’s still slightly overpriced compared to how the market is moving. 30-day IV in SPY is 15 right now. That implies about a 3% move for the market over the next month, a tiny move to be sure, but one that the market has failed to move outside of for the past month and a half. When the sideways action finally breaks remains anyone’s guess.
