July 17th Options Now Available For Intuitive Machines (LUNR)

New options on Intuitive Machines (LUNR) with a July 17 expiration began trading today; the contracts carry 109 days until expiry. Time value (theta) is a key component of option pricing, so the 109‑day tenor implies a larger time premium than near‑dated strikes. This is a routine listing likely to add derivative liquidity and possibly modestly increase short‑term volatility, but it is unlikely to move the underlying equity materially.
