Volatility Premium
Volatility premium is the additional value embedded in an option price due to the expectation of future volatility. When markets are uncertain, this premium rises, making options more expensive.
Traders can profit from selling options when this premium is high or buying them when it is underpriced. It is a crucial element for strategies that focus on volatility trading.
