November 21, 2016 at 11:16 AM EST
Investors in iShares MSCI Australia Index Fund (EWA) saw new options become available today, for the July 2017 expiration. One of the key data points that goes into the price an option buyer is willing to pay, is the time value, so with 242 days until expiration the newly available contracts represent a potential opportunity for sellers of puts or calls to achieve a higher premium than would be available for the contracts with a closer expiration..
