There are several potentially market moving events on the immediate horizon. In theory, investors should be showing some concern ahead of tomorrow\u2019s monthly employment report, Monday\u2019s 10:1 ex-split in Nvidia (NVDA) and Apple\u2019s (AAPL) Worldwide Developers Conference, and Wednesday\u2019s double-whammy of a CPI report coming hours before an FOMC meeting. Any or all of these have the potential to induce volatility not only to the affected stocks, but to the market as a whole. But options markets aren\u2019t reflecting that possibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We can look at the level of the Cboe Volatility Index (VIX) as a proxy for the demand for volatility protection from institutions. Although its current 12.75 level is above its recent lows, it is not above them by much. Furthermore, while VIX is a 30-day lookahead, its counterpart, VIX9D is looking towards the more immediate future \u2013 the next 9 days. It too is reflecting little concern about volatility over that period:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When we look at the options on ETFs linked to the S&P 500 (SPX) and Nasdaq 100 (NDX), SPY and QQQ respectively, the IBKR Probability Lab shows that for both, traders are placing higher probabilities for upside moves after tomorrow\u2019s figures rather than downside:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The probabilities imply that tomorrow\u2019s numbers will be benign, at least for equities. That means that the consensus of a 185,000 increase in Nonfarm Payrolls, an Unemployment Rate of 3.9%, and monthly Average Hourly Earnings growth of 0.3% will be met, or if missed, that the miss will be market friendly. That said, skews for those options expiring tomorrow do show a steep downside skew:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I find it notable that the skews for options expiring next week also display some bias to the downside even if the probability distributions do not:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The current market environment seems to share its motto with New York State: Excelsior, or \u201chigher.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Considering that NVDA is up over 10% this week so far and that AAPL has been higher for each of the past nine sessions, one might think that some concern about Monday\u2019s events could be considered \u201csell the news\u201d events. Not really. Starting with NVDA, we do see that the probability distribution has a slight downward bias, but that could easily be attributed to the fact that the stock ran through those strikes yesterday with no resistance:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Note also that the skew for options expiring next Friday is generally flattish and upward sloping, indicating that FOMO remains in play:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The probability distribution for AAPL is more centered, but its options skew for next week is even flatter than NVDA\u2019s<\/p>\n\n\n\n
