Centre county Pennsylvania, USA | The chart has 3 panels. Top panel shows Jul 2017 corn option premiums on Friday Aug 26 2016 for options with strikes around ATM strike. Center panel shows change, in percent, in those option premiums during the Aug 26 2016 trading day. Bottom panel shows open interest for those options on the Aug 26 2016 trading day. Together those panels provide a visual representation of the key variables associated with the Jul 2917 corn options with strikes around ATM on trading day August 26 2016.
I'm also with those that think Sep 2017, or Dec 2017, corn call options are preferred over the Jul 2017 call option. Those longer dated options will give sufficient time to realize the volatility premiums in the seasonal trends during the life span of the option. |
