Option Volatility And Earnings Report For July 21

It is a pivotal week of profit this week with some of the big names prepared for reporting including Tesla (TSLA), Alphabet (Googl), Intel (INTC), Verizon (VZ), Freeport McMORAN (FCX), NewMont Mining (NEM).

Before the company reports the profits, the implicit fluctuation is usually high because the market is not sure of the report’s results. The speculators and stations create a great demand for the company’s options, which increases the implicit fluctuations, and thus the price of options.

After declaring profits, implicit fluctuations usually decrease to normal levels.

Let’s take a look at the expected scope of these shares. To calculate the expected range, find a series of options and add a PUT option price on money and money -making option. Use the first expiration date after Date of profits. While this approach is not accurate like a detailed account, it is a reasonable accurate estimate.
