CBOE Launches "Oil VIX" (OVX)

Submitted By Bill Luby
Today the CBOE launched an "Oil VIX" (OVX) based on options on the USO crude oil ETF.

According to the CBOE press release, the exchange is in the process of expanding their volatility index product line into commodities and foreign currencies.

I think this is an exciting development that just happens to fit nicely with several chapters in my upcoming book.

I'll have a lot more to say about the OVX and other CBOE volatility products going forward.
