Implied volatilities of VIX and VSTOXX options rose only slightly, which just may be a product of time to expiration. VSTOXX ATM term structure seems relatively flat to the VIX, with Sep and Nov below VIX ATMs, and Jan-12 above VIX ATMs.
Week in Volatility
World markets continued decline sending volatility indexes higher. VIX rose another 6.69 points which VSTOXX Index had 2.46 point gain since last week. Long-term VIX futures trade at around 30, historically a very high level, showing that elevated volatility is going to stay with us for sometime. Meanwhile Jared Woodard provided an excellent analysis on VIX futures on his blog.
