For now the asian stock markets are rallying, and aside from recent small shakedowns which always have been bought, the indices make new highs. Korea with its highly automated options market is particularly interesting. Right now there was one of the frequent mini-shakes but the underlying strength of the market made people quickly buying the index up again. Then, there's always the north-korea event risk. Options are not really expensive (with implied volatility about 17 for March options), but the futures a bit clumsy to scale. On a longer run it always seems to fade severely right at the beginning of the second quarter. The front month in options is pretty efficient with option prices quoted in 0.01 spreads.
