Thanks to an FOMC meeting and key earning reports after the close, today promises to be a consequential day for markets.  As we noted yesterday<\/a>, the market reactions to the Fed, Meta Platforms (META), Microsoft (MSFT), Tesla (TSLA) and others are more likely to hinge upon the guidance that they offer more than the current results themselves.  Overall, we see some risk aversion, though it is indeed relatively modest in most cases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Starting with the FOMC, the IBKR Probability Lab shows a fairly symmetric range of probabilities for the S&P 500 (SPX) centered at-the-money for options expiring today, though Friday\u2019s expiration shows a definite (and now somewhat customary) upside bias.  The message seems to be, \u201ctoday might be a push, but the rally resumes on Friday.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, befitting the probability curves above, we see a fairly steep, relatively symmetrical skew for SPX options expiring today, with a roughly 2% move priced into implied volatilities, but a flatter skew and a much higher inflection point for options expiring Friday. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Traders in options expiring today seem to remember the big move after the last FOMC, since 2% is well above the average FOMC day move.  That said, the three-day options are relatively unperturbed compared to recent history:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moving onto META, we see a bit of a probability plateau, though the peak is slightly below the current price: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Interestingly, skews for META options expiring this Friday, next Friday and on the next monthly expiration are almost identical in both shape and levels to those from just before the company\u2019s last earnings report.  It\u2019s quite uncanny.  The nearest term options sport an implied volatility of 7.5% (measured in daily terms), which is quite close to META\u2019s 7.99% average post-earnings move using the past six quarters\u2019 data (-4.09%, +4.82%, -10.56%, +20.32%, -3.73%, +4.4%):<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regarding MSFT, we see a symmetrical probability distribution centered upon at-money options:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As with META, the shape and the levels of the skew curves are almost identical to those seen last quarter.  One key difference, of course, is that META is up about 10% since its prior report while MSFT is essentially unchanged.  The 4.6% daily implied volatility is somewhat robust compared to an average post-earnings move of 3.08% after its last six reports (-6.05%, -1.08%, +1.82%, -2.69%, +3.07%).  Perhaps traders are putting more weight on the last 6% move than the prior smaller moves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, with TSLA we see some outright risk aversion, with the probability curve shifted to the downside and a peak about -4% below the current stock price:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While skews are relatively flat from about $340 upward but very steep below that level.  Implied volatilities across the curve are significantly higher than they were prior to TSLA\u2019s last earnings report.  But bear in mind that the stock is roughly 80% (not a typo) in that three-month span.  It has been under some pressure recently, though, with yesterday\u2019s 0.24% rise breaking a streak of five prior down days in a row.  No wonder why more volatility is being priced in right now, especially TSLA has moved an average of 12.91 after its last six earnings reports (+21.92%, -12.33%, +12.06%, -12.13%, -9.3%, -9.74%)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
