Event Risk/ IV Update: Monthly-expiry contracts have rolled over to the 06.02.2024 date, which now covers the Indian Budget event-risk (01.02.2024 - 02.02.2024). IV for these contracts have been marked up to 16.0-16.5%, driving the vol regime model into "High & Up" gear + Vol term-structure now has a distinctly kinked shape.
