The oil market is in turmoil, the stock market is "silent"! Under the shadow of war clouds, option strategies are caught in a dilemma.

Zhtng Cijng APP learned that as global geopolitical risks escalate significantly, the stock market's recent performance has been calm, leaving options traders worldwide in a dilemma: selling volatility may result in embarrassment if conflicts suddenly escalate, while buying volatility may lead to continued losses or loss of premium due to lackluster market trends. After the United States sent B-2 bombers to bomb Iran's large nuclear facilities, the geopolitical tensions have caused a dilemma in the options market that will only worsen. Meanwhile, since Israel launched airstrikes against Iran, oil prices have surged by 11%, and oil market volatility has risen to its highest level since the Russia-Ukraine war in 2022.
