摘要:As options markets have developed over time, options prices have increasingly been used to
derive the market’s assessment of the future volatility of a range of asset prices, including share
prices. From a fi nancial stability perspective, the expected volatility of bank share prices is of
particular interest. Given that fairly liquid markets now exist for options over the share prices
of the major Australian banks, the market’s assessment of the probability of large movements in
these prices can be estimated.1
