How News Affects VIG Options Pricing
Headlines and scheduled events drive implied volatility in two distinct ways. Pre-event, IV typically inflates as uncertainty about the outcome rises; this is the implied-volatility expansion that creates the long-vol setup. Post-event, IV typically contracts sharply as uncertainty resolves; this is IV crush, which makes premium-selling structures profitable when they survive the underlying move. The size of the crush depends on how stretched pre-event IV is relative to the realized move. Track VIG's implied vs realized volatility over the news cycle to size pre-event vs post-event positioning. For ticker-level dealer positioning context, the gamma exposure view shows whether dealers are positioned to amplify or dampen post-news moves.

Press releases from the company itself typically appear within minutes of the wire release; third-party reporting may lag by 30-60 minutes depending on the source.
- What VIG news moves options pricing?

Routine news flow (analyst commentary, sector rotation) typically does not move IV meaningfully unless it triggers a cluster of rating changes.

- Unusual options activity often precedes news by hours to days; the canonical signals are volume substantially above the trailing average concentrated in a small number of strikes, atypical put/call skew, and aggressive execution (at-the-ask sweeps or block prints).
