Every quarter, hundreds of companies report earnings results within a compressed window, and the market's reaction can be swift and significant. For traders holding stock, that means binary outcomes with full exposure to a potential move in either direction. Options change that equation. Rather than simply being long or short a stock going into an earnings report, options allow traders to define their risk, isolate a specific variable and tailor a position to their view of how an earnings event might unfold.

In today's Macro Volatility Digest: 🔹 Implied volatilities were mixed across major asset classes last week as hotter-than-expected September CPI and PPI reports revived Fed rate-hike fears and collided with mounting worries about debt-funded AI spending. 🔹 Credit volatility rose last week as investors repriced the debt-funded AI buildout not only for CoreWeave and other high-yield AI firms. 🔹 The VIX® Index rose 5 pts w/w to 20, outpacing the move implied by skew by 3.5 pts; driven primarily by demand for downside convexity. 🔹 Starting today, traders will get an extra 130 minutes per day to trade options on 29 large-cap stocks and ETFs.
