Volatility and Skew

Volatility is measured by the India VIX index. It is the implied volatility of 1 month Nifty 50 options. Skew is calculated as the difference between implied volatilities (IV) of OTM put options and OTM call options of NIfty 50.

High VIX value suggests that market participants are expecting increased risk and volatility in the market.

This is done using Skew - a higher than average value of skew represents a high chance of downward movement and vice versa.
