外媒评论认为,材料板块近期虽不算市场焦点,但其表现已明显强于大盘。以 State Street Materials Select Sector SPDR ETF(XLB)为代表的材料类资产,今年以来累计涨幅接近 17%,本周也位列表现较强的板块之一。

材料板块年内跑赢大盘

文章称,这一轮走强背后有两条线索。一是 AI 基础设施建设持续推进,带动铜、化工品和建筑材料需求。二是贵金属价格获得支撑,部分原因在于市场担忧财政问题被货币化处理,进而推高通胀压力。

XLB期权波动率处于低位

文章指出,当前更受关注的不是板块本身,而是 XLB 期权的定价。XLB 一个月平值期权隐含波动率目前仅略高于 14%。

过去五年中,这一指标平均值约为 19.5%,高点达到 47.25%,低点为 11.8%。按这一对比看,XLB 期权定价更接近五年低位,而不是长期均值。

  • 当前近月平值隐含波动率略高于 14%
  • 过去五年平均值约为 19.5%
  • 历史区间大致在 11.8% 至 47.25%

评论聚焦低权利金环境

这意味着,在作者看来,市场对该板块短期波动的定价并不高。若投资者希望通过期权表达方向性判断,当前权利金成本相对较低。

评论文章称,较低的期权价格会压低单笔交易的最大风险,因为买方承担的损失通常仅限于已支付的权利金。也正因如此,作者认为此时未必需要使用更复杂的价差结构来降低成本。

文中举例称,XLB 9 月到期、执行价 52.5 美元的平值看涨期权,价格约为 1 美元,约占标的价格的 2%。按这一计算,若 XLB 在未来四周升至 53.5 美元左右,买方大致可达到盈亏平衡。

文章还提到,若不认同材料板块的看多逻辑,做空一方也可能更倾向于直接买入相近执行价的看跌期权,而不是直接卖空 ETF。原因同样在于,当前期权成本较低,能把风险控制在较小范围内。
