What EMB Looks Like to Options Traders Today
IV rank of 83.8% signals elevated pricing relative to the 1-year history, conditions that typically favor premium-selling structures (credit spreads, iron condors, covered calls); negative net gamma exposure (-$40.6M) means dealers hedge with trend, amplifying realized volatility and accelerating directional moves; the 25-delta skew (0.031) prices calls richer than puts, often reflecting upside speculation or squeeze risk.
