What is Volatility Skew?
Volatility skew (or volatility smile/smirk) refers to the phenomenon where options with different strike prices but the same expiration date have different implied volatilities. Typically, out-of-the-money (OTM) put options have higher implied volatility than at-the-money (ATM) options, and OTM call options have lower implied volatility than ATM options, creating a "skew" in the volatility surface when plotted against strike prices.
