债券波动率超越股票波动率 - 期权简报
Core conclusion · Tlines extraction
Saxo's 25 September options brief reports MOVE, the Treasury volatility index, closed above 100 for the first time in its three-month store, rising 9.56% to 104.58, while the S&P 500 closed just 0.02% lower. The 30-year yield touched 5.50%, its highest since 2004. VIX held at 15.67, near its median, with the curve in contango. Saxo sees the repricing concentrated in rates, with equity index volatility yet to participate.

Key arguments
- Rate volatility broke out: MOVE closed at 104.58, above all 60 prior sessions, up 33% in two sessions.
- The flat S&P 500 close masked weak breadth: equal-weight index fell 0.53% and seven of ten sector funds closed lower.
- The IV rank board split: rate funds price near yearly extremes while index funds sit near yearly lows.
- Whether equity index volatility eventually follows rates or keeps ignoring them remains the open question.
