Might Correlation be the Key to Understanding VIX?

IBKR Podcasts

About this episode

What sort of topics arise when two options market veterans sit down for a conversation?  Volatility, correlation, bonds, and of course, 0DTE and Volmageddon.  For the latest IBKR Podcast, Mandy Xu, VP and head of derivatives markets intelligence at Cboe, joins Steve Sosnick, chief strategist at IBKR, to discuss these topics and much, much more.
