Click for BigSince announcement day, implied volatility appears to have declined, but this may be simply an artefact of the data: the high-spread TRP.PR.J has an enormous influence on the calculation and since it has increased in price, reducing the Expected Future Current Yield, this results in a reduction of the slope between the many lower-spread and the single higher-spread issue, leading to reduced implied volatility. We need more data!
