Meanwhile, from a cross-asset standpoint, Fishman adds that if interest rates staying this low has the potential to be a catalyst for further equity upside (unless they plunge<i><b>too</b></i>fast), leaving the potential for near-term asymmetry in SPX potential returns that is the opposite of what option markets are implying.</p><p><blockquote>SPX 指数偏差继续处于接近创纪录水平,我们认为这是由于缺乏下行卖家造成的<b>和对冲需求一样多。</b>VIX 对周一的抛售反应强烈,VIX 盘中一度上涨超过 6 点、<b>证明了高度倾斜是合理的——至少在非常局部的层面上是如此…….</b>在更持久的抛售中,很难维持 skew 所表明的隐含波动水平。与此同时,从跨资产的角度来看,菲什曼补充说,如果利率保持在如此低的水平,就有可能成为股市进一步上涨的催化剂(除非利率暴跌<i><b>也</b></i>快速),这使得 SPX 潜在回报可能出现近期不对称,这与期权市场所暗示的相反。</blockquote></p><p> So how does one trade the persistently sticky record high skew? Goldman continues to like levered risk reversals as a way to take advantage of this dynamic: Sell a 17-Sep 3800-strike put (12.1% OTM) to fund 2x 4550-strike (5.2% OTM) calls for zero net premium.
