Effect of Volatility on Delta
|
||||
The level of volatility affects option deltas as well. We’ll discuss volatility
|
||||
in more detail in future chapters, but it’s important to address it here as it
|
||||
relates to the concept of delta. Exhibit 2.4 shows how changing the
|
||||
volatility percentage (explained further in Chapter 3), as opposed to the
|
||||
time to expiration, affects option deltas. In this table, the delta of a call with
|
||||
91 days until expiration is studied.
|
||||
EXHIBIT 2.4 Estimated delta of 50-strike call—impact of volatility.
|
||||
Notice the effect that volatility has on the deltas of this option with the
|
||||
underlying stock at various prices. In this table, at a low volatility with the
|
||||
call deep in- or out-of-the-money, the delta is very large or very small,
|
||||
respectively. At 10 percent volatility with the stock at $58 a share, the delta
|
||||
is 1.00. At that same volatility level with the stock at $42 a share, the delta
|
||||
is 0.
|
||||
But at higher volatility levels, the deltas change. With the stock at $58, a
|
||||
45 percent volatility gives the 50-strike call a 0.79 delta—much smaller
|
||||
than it was at the low volatility level. With the stock at $42, a 45-percent
|
||||
volatility returns a 0.30 delta for the call. Generally speaking, ITM option
|
||||
deltas are smaller given a higher volatility assumption, and OTM option
|
||||
deltas are bigger with a higher volatility.
