Open Interest Against June 20th 2025 Option Contracts

MetLife option prices can potentially be used to forecast stock returns because most option chains provide information not only about the current prices but also about the future conditions in MetLife's lending market. For example, when MetLife's puts are not actively trading or completely missing in the marketplace, investors can use it to internalize expected shorting costs. So if an investor is writing a put option on MetLife, he or she must hedge the risk by shorting MetLife stock over its option's life.
The chart above shows MetLife's distribution of open interest by maturity on contracts that have not yet been settled. The area between the two highest points is the projection of the price at expiration. MetLife's open interest chart also provides vital information regarding the liquidity of an option. If there is no open interest for MetLife's option, there is no secondary market available for investors to trade.

Max pain occurs when MetLife's market makers reach a net positive position across all MetLife's options at a strike price where option holders stand to lose the most money.

MetLife In The Money Call Balance

When MetLife's strike price is surpassing the current stock price, the option contract against MetLife stock is said to be in the money. When it comes to buying MetLife's options that are 'In the Money' or 'Out of the Money', the choice depends on your outlook for the underlying security, financial situation, and what you are trying to achieve.
While 'out-of-the-money' option contracts written on MetLife are typically viewed as the more aggressive, there are potential upsides to purchasing these types of options contracts. For one, the cost to buy an 'Out of the Money' option is lower than the cost to buy an 'In the Money' option. This cost-benefit is due to the fact that at the time of the purchase, 'Out of the Money' contracts have no intrinsic value. So, while the potential for a 100% loss is more significant, the cost and risk to enter the trade are lower.

In addition, it helps MetLife Stock's traders understand whether a recent fall or rise in the market is unreasonable and if the time has come to take contrarian positions. These ratios are calculated based on options trading volumes and current open interest.
