# As the earnings season approaches for U.S. stocks, options on S&P 500 index components indicate that expected volatility is nearing the highs of July this year

> The US stock market is about to enter the earnings announcement period, and options on S&P 500 index components indicate an average post-earnings volatility of 4.7%, close to the high seen in July of this year. Non-essential consumer goods, technology, and healthcare stocks are expected to experience significant volatility, with the expected volatility in the non-essential consumer goods sector being the highest since 2020. Options traders have pushed up the implied volatility of S&P 500 components, reflecting a focus on technology stocks

U.S. stocks enter the earnings season this week. According to Bloomberg, options on S&P 500 constituents indicate that the average volatility after the release of corporate earnings is 4.7%, close to the highest level since 2022, which was reached during the earnings season in July this year, kicked off by JP Morgan (JPM.US).

The report also notes that options suggest significant volatility for consumer discretionary, technology, and healthcare stocks during the earnings period starting this week, with the pre-earnings expected volatility for the consumer discretionary sector being the highest since 2020. The resource sector is expected to have lower volatility, but it is still the highest level for that sector in three years. Additionally, options traders have pushed up the implied volatility of S&P 500 constituents, reflecting bets on the seven major tech stocks amid ongoing attention to artificial intelligence and big tech
