Chain price differs from the index print
You see: the underlying price in the chain differs from the index print, or reads “on GCZ6” or “forward”.
Why (by design):
- SPX, XSP, RUT, NDX, DJX, SPY, QQQ and IWM options are priced on the put-call parity level.
- Each futures option expiration is quoted against its own futures month.
- VIX options are quoted against each month’s VIX future.
