Today, we are joined by Tom Boggs, Senior Director of Equity Options; Derek Samman, Global Head of Commodities and Options Products, and; Nick Howard, Founder and CEO of QuikStrike
Looking Back at 2015:
- OCC 2015 cleared contract volume down 3% from 2014.
- A strong year for futures options.
- What kept futures options volume strong last year while overall equity options volume contracted?
- How is the current market turmoil impacting options trading/volume at CME?
- Which product categories are leading the charge so far in 2016.
- Spotlight on crude oil, WTI volatility skew, and put premium.
Listener Mail: Listener questions and comments
- Question from JCanut - There is significant order flow in many weekly options products all the way into the final few days. Does this indicate there is potentially a market for daily listed options products? Would an exchange like CBOE or CME ever consider adding a daily options product to their lineup?
- Question from Mark C. - Great show on crude. Is the put premium still holding strong in WTI or is it going away?
