Volatility in the options market is decreasing with little expectation for relief. Various sectors, including stocks, oil, bonds, credit, and FX, are showing lower volatility levels. With minimal surprises anticipated in the near future, such as the continuation of OPEC+ output cuts and expected rate cuts by the Federal Reserve, investors have little motivation to short the market. As the market steadily climbs higher, the prevalence of volatility selling strategies is pushing volatility lower, creating a calm market atmosphere despite fundamental uncertainties.
