Hi, I'm a newbie on Options, my background is UK/European small caps. I know I should read a couple of primers on the subject before I start posting, but I am intrigued by this.
IG index quoted today (Sept 3rd - @ 21:42pm) the following:
FTSE 100 Call September 5500 : 99.5
FTSE 100 Put September 5500 : 90.4
and the synthetic index (out of hours) is bang on 5500.
What could justify the asymetry in the two prices? That more options traders expects the FTSE to go up than down? Is there anything more to it?
That's my first post, I'm looking forward to read the replies. Next post on binaries soon.
Thanks
