1 FEDERAL RESERVE BANK OF MINNEAPOLIS BANKING AND POLICY STUDIES Minneapolis Options Report July 25 th Banks Trading volumes were higher relative to two weeks ago but remained light. Stocks with above average activity included: BBT, BK, C, WFC, KEY, and USB. The CCAR firms have reported earnings since our last report. The median earnings surprise was 5.4%, revenue surprise was 1.6%, and price response was 1.1%. 82% and 65% of the firms beat their street estimates for earnings and revenues respectively. Share prices are higher relative to two weeks ago. The median CCAR firm s stock price rose 4.2% Tail risks fell pervasively across the industry as indicated by declines in RNPD standard deviations relative to last period. RNPD volatilities are near three and a half year lows for the universe of banks we follow. Correspondingly, risk neutral probabilities of large price changes are also extremely low. 35.0% Median CCAR Bank RNPD Standard Deviation 30.0% 25.0% 20.0% 15.0% 10.0% 5.0% 0.0% 1/2010 2/2010 4/2010 5/2010 7/2010 8/ / /2010 1/2011 2/2011 4/2011 5/2011 7/2011 8/ / /2011 1/2012 2/2012 4/2012 5/2012 7/2012 8/ / / /2012 2/2013 3/2013 5/2013 6/2013 7/2013 Additional notes: The RNPD derived from options on MS shares skewed more to the downside after an 8.65% price increase. The majority of firms posted less negative skews. Trading in options on C and MS shares was dominated by put transactions (see arrows in chart below). Trading in options on BK, BBT, KEY, and USB was dominated by call transactions. Page 1 of 3

2 Other Commodity Markets Volumes for options on the S&P 500 index rose for twelve month expiries but fell substantially for six month expiries. The RNPDs associated with those options were largely unchanged. For the third report in a row, we highlight elevated activity in options on the grains. Options on gold, silver, and oil futures also continue to trade at above average levels. As with the bank RNPDs, RNPD standard deviations declined across the range of commodities. Additional notes: Trading was again active for options on WTI crude futures but less so on Brent. Spot prices rose more than 1.5% for WTI and were flat for Brent relative to two weeks ago. We have begun to see an increase in trading on options on WTI futures relative to options on Brent futures. (See Oil Reports). 2.5 Options Trading Volume WTI futures vs. Brent futures (6 month expiries) /2012 5/2012 5/2012 6/2012 7/2012 8/2012 9/ / / /2012 1/2013 2/2013 3/2013 4/2013 5/2013 5/2013 6/2013 7/ Tail risks declined in foreign exchange markets. The decrease was particularly sharp in dollar-yen where the RNPD standard deviation dropped 100 basis points. The increased tail risk in the dollar-pound exchange rate market noted in the last report reversed. Volumes were brisk again in options on dollar-pound futures and above average in the other two markets. (See Exchange rate reports) Page 2 of 3

3 Grain prices dropped precipitously over the past two weeks with corn falling -9.2%, soybeans falling -5.2%, and wheat falling -5.1%. At the same time, the RNPD standard deviations for corn and wheat fell nearly -2%. On the other hand the RNPD standard deviation for soybeans rose nearly 2%. (See grain market reports) Trading volumes for options on gold and silver futures remained high. Tail risks, as measured by RNPD standard deviation fell for the second report in a row. (See gold and silver reports) The DJ Real Estate Index ETF fell -2.4% over the past two weeks. Options trading was highest we have measured since January 2010 and we note that many of the underlying REITs have been reporting earnings in recent days. Performance of the ETF has been very sensitive to changing market views of interest rates. Nevertheless, the shape of the RNPD has changed only slightly since the last report. (See Real Estate report) Trading Volumes for Options on the DJ Real Estate Index ETF /2010 2/2010 4/2010 5/2010 7/2010 8/ / /2010 1/2011 2/2011 4/2011 5/2011 7/2011 8/ / /2011 1/2012 2/2012 4/2012 5/2012 7/2012 8/ / / /2012 2/2013 3/2013 5/2013 6/2013 7/2013 Since the last FOMC meeting, risk neutral expectations for high inflation have risen. Notably, in recent days, near term expectations have begun to reverse while longer term expectations have not.
