Hello Everyone We are the international school university of lagos (ISL) WAAS CLUB And we are here to inform you about volatility Firstly we are going to start with “what is volatility ?” What is volatility? Volatility is the amount and frequency of price changes. It measures how wildly they swing and how often they move higher or lower. Secondly “Types Of Volatility” There are mainly types of volatility namely: Historical Volatility Implied volatility Future volatility Forecast volatility Seasonal volatility Now we will be taking them one by one What is Historical Volatility ? Historical Volatility is a measure of how much price deviates from its average in a specific time period that can be set. What is Implied volatility ?   the   implied volatility is that value of the  volatility  of the underlying instrument which, when input in an option pricing model (such as Black–Scholes), will return a theoretical value equal to the current market price of said option. A non-option financial instrument that has embedded optionality, such as an interest rate cap, can also have an implied volatility. Implied volatility, a forward-looking and subjective measure, differs from historical volatility because the latter is calculated from known past returns of a security. To understand where implied volatility stands in terms of the underlying,  implied volatility rank  is used to understand its implied volatility from a one-year high and low. What is Future volatility? Future volatility is one of the inputs needed for options pricing models. The future, however, is  unknown . The actual volatility levels revealed by options prices are therefore the market's best estimate of those assumptions. What is Forecast V olatility Forecast Volatility is a measure of the  unpredictability of contacts coming into the contact centre . In essence this is the “spread” of data around the average. In terms of contact centre forecasting, your data will be historic contact volumes. You can analyse volatility in your contact volumes across days, weeks or years. What is Seasonal volatility? Seasonal Volatility  Certain markets tend to be more volatile at different times of the year . The grains often become more active in the summer due to possible drought and supply problems. That is all for today thank you very much BYE-BYE
