Analytics produced by Allocation Strategy were featured in the Unhedged series in the Financial Times this week. Michael Chin outlines what option markets are pricing in terms of further oil price increases. FT Unhedged used option-implied probabilities to analyse oil markets, following rapidly unfolding news in the Middle East. The link to the article can be found here.

The chart from the article is reproduced below. Option-implied distributions are produced for a range of asset classes as part of our Market-implied Macro solution.
