周一,观察到vix和大盘同时上涨的反常现象,下面从理论上给出解释。
根据vix数值的计算公式定义,https://www.cboe.com/micro/vix/vixwhite.pdf ,计算实时vix数值,要求输入30天内所有的out of money(OM )call option的价格和put option的价格。这里要明确的一点是,计算实时vix数值时,vix的值不仅和put option的价格有关,和call option的价格也有关联。
当行情由底部开始上涨时,OM put的价格随着spy的价格上涨而下跌,相应计算出来的vix的数值不断的下跌。这就是我们经常观察到的规律。当spy有了一个客观的涨幅时,大部分OM put option的价格接近清零,对vix的贡献趋零,但是,另一方面,OM call的价格大幅上升,它们对vix的计算数值的贡献补赏了put option价格的下跌后还富富有余。这是相应的vix就开始由跌转升了。这就是我们周一观察到的spy和vix同时上涨的现象,即vix走势和大盘背离。
而vxx是vix近期期货的权重组和,它的实时走势跟随大盘,就像开盘后期指es走势跟随大盘关联一样。当vix走势和大盘背离时,自然vxx走势就和vix背离了。
下面给出近期spy option 链,5月18日到期的月期权 OM 275call OP有13万之多,随着spy从5月4日的264涨到周一的273,275 call对vix的贡献越来越大,最后抵消了OM put的减小,导致vix总体上涨。即vix走势和spx背离,二者同时上涨。
