Should Investors Worry About a Market Correction? ETFs to Consider
Approximately 75% of Americans expect a market correction amid rising uncertainty and historic valuation extremes. The S&P 500's CAPE ratio has reached 41.07, levels last seen during the 1929 crash and dot-com bubble. Investors are increasingly turning to volatility ETFs for hedging and low-volatility ETFs for portfolio stability as a defensive strategy.

VIX Hits 3-Month High: Market Turns To Stocks Braving 'Last Mile In The Inflation Battle'
Small caps and growth stocks are out and utilities and energy stocks are back in following a surprise inflation reading that has sent U.S. equity markets plunging on Tuesday. Such was the turmoil, that the CBOE VIX Volatility Index, the so-called Wall Street fear gauge, spiked from around 13.9 to 17.9 — a 28% jump — hitting its highest level since Nov. 1. It ended the day at 15.85. “At present, this increase is the biggest jump since March 9th and the volatility index stands at over a three-month high. And yet, these are still very low levels of overall implied volatility,” said analyst John Kicklighter on X. The ProShares Vix Mid-Term Futures ETF (NYSE:VIXM), an exchange traded fund which aims to track the VIX Index, jumped 2.2% to $16.37 on Tuesday, but was down 1.6% in pre-market trading on Wednesday.

VIX At 2-Month High: Fears Mount As Markets Re-Assess Rate Cut Premium
Equity markets are having a bumpy ride so far in 2024, and Tuesday was the worst day yet, with weaker sentiment underlined on Wednesday by a move on Wall Street’s “fear gauge” to a two-month high. The CBOE VIX volatility index jumped 4.8% to 14.5 on Wednesday ahead of the market open. The ProShares VIX Mid-Term Futures ETF (NYSE:VIXM), an exchange traded fund that attempts to mirror the performance of the volatility index, was up 2.4% on Wednesday at 16.39. While 14.5 isn’t historically high, it is significant in being the highest reading since Nov. 14, 2023, when the index was dropping sharply from levels above 20. A VIX above 20 is seen as a level indicating “fearful” market conditions, marked by volatility and downside pressure on equities. When the VIX was last above 20 on Oct. 30, it was at the start of a sharp two-month downturn that coincided with strong gains on global equity markets. As the VIX tumbled from around 21 in late October to around 12 in December, the S&P 500 index put on 16%, as did the main ETF that tracks it — the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:SPY).

'Dumb Money' Is Super Confident In Stock Market Right Now: Should We Be Concerned?
The “Dumb Money Confidence” index rose to its third-highest reading in 25 years on Friday, just as the VIX volatility index, also known as Wall Street’s “fear gauge” traded at its lowest levels since 2019. Coincidence or correlation? It’s a well-known maxim of Warren Buffett: “When everybody else gets greedy, get scared. And when everybody else gets scared, get greedy,” and illustrates perfectly what the two indexes are telling us: that the bandwagon effect has taken hold. The bandwagon effect, follow-the-crowd — whatever you want to call it — is a trading bias that indulges a group-think mentality. This would be fine if you follow a crowd getting in on the meat of an asset price rise. Following The Crowd Too Late But ...Full story available on Benzinga.com

VIX Soars To 5-Month High: What Surging Treasury Yields Mean For Stocks
The CBOE Volatility Index, commonly known as the VIX or the “fear gauge” of the stock market, has experienced a notable upswing recently, reaching levels not seen in over five months. This surge in the VIX, which has breached the psychologically significant mark of 20, serves as a compelling indicator of growing apprehensions within financial markets. The VIX, a pivotal gauge of expected volatility in the S&P 500 provided by CBOE Global Markets Inc., experienced a surge of almost 13% on Tuesday, and is currently poised for its third consecutive weekly advance. This spike has followed a month of substantial volatility, with September witnessing a 30% increase in the VIX, its most robust performance since April 2022. Notably, this came after the VIX had reached its lowest point (12.68) since January 2020. The fear index has now exceeded both its 50-day and 200-day moving averages. The latter in particular constitutes a breach of what had been a formidable resistance hurdle since March 2023. Chart: VIX Index Rises Above Key Moving Averages Full story available on Benzinga.com

CBOE Volatility Index Spikes 9% As Triple Witching Day Shakes Market
The CBOE Volatility Index, also known as the VIX or “fear index,” witnessed a sudden surge of 9% Friday, marking the most significant single-day increase since mid-August. Produced by CBOE Global Markets Inc. (NYSE:CBOE), the VIX is a well-regarded gauge of option volatility in the S&P 500 index.

Several factors may have contributed to the remarkable daily spike in the VIX. Economic data published this week indicated a resurgence in inflation, raising some concerns among investors.

Volatility Bargain Alert: Goldman Sachs Analyst Asserts VIX Is Priced Too Low For Economic Realities
Analysts at Goldman Sachs are highlighting an intriguing disconnect between market conditions and the famed ‘fear’ gauge. Goldman Sachs’ analyst team, featuring experts such as John Marshall and Spencer Hill, CFA, wrote a note explaining that the CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) is presently trading at price levels considerably beneath what the broader economic context would imply. “The VIX at 13.8 is about 6 points below the 20.6 level implied by the growth and inflation environment, but only 4 points below levels implied by our year-end-2024 estimates,” the analysts wrote. Goldman Sachs Deep Dive Goldman Sachs’ analysis examines the historical underpinnings of the VIX. They examined key macroeconomic variables such as unemployment rates, ISM new orders, consumer spending growth, and inflation. A number of factors typically appear to be correlated with an increase in ...Full story available on Benzinga.com

The Biggest Short: Trader Bets $30K On 1,100% VIX Spike By February 2024
So far, 2023 has seen an equity bull market with low volatility, but whispers on Wall Street suggest an audacious move that could rival Michael Burry’s famous “Big Short.” In a jaw-dropping play, a trader recently shelled out $30,000 on a bet that hinges on the VIX index hitting 180 by February 2024. As of now, the VIX, often dubbed the “fear gauge,” is trading at a mere 15, implying a staggering 1,100% surge would be needed for the bet to pay off. Yahoo Finance data reveals that the trader purchased 5,035 VIX options with a strike price of 180 and an expiration date of Feb. 14, 2024, at a cost of $0.06 per contract. This contrarian move raises eyebrows, especially considering that just last week, the VIX index sank to the 13 level, marking one of the lowest points of the year. Currently, it’s at its weakest level since December 2019, prior to the start ...Full story available on Benzinga.com

Stock Market Volatility Plummets To Pre-Covid Levels: Analyst Says 'Enjoy Low VIX While It Lasts'
The Chicago Board Options Exchange’s CBOE Volatility Index (VIX), commonly known as the “fear index,” has recently plummeted to levels unseen since June 2021. The current low level of the VIX also aligns with the levels observed in February 2021, before the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic. The substantial drop in volatility has ignited a notable upturn in the stock market during the past month, propelling the S&P 500 index towards its highest point since August 2022 and driving the Nasdaq 100 index to over 12-month highs. Analysts are cautioning investors to enjoy the low volatility momentum while it endures. Historical patterns indicate the likelihood of a resurgence ...Full story available on Benzinga.com

VIX Closes Below 14 For First Time In Over 3 Years: What That Means For The Market
The CBOE Volatility Index, popularly known as the VIX, settled below the 14 mark for the first time in more than three years. What Happened: The VIX is one of the most commonly used measures of market sentiment and it is often used by traders as a tool for assessing risk. The VIX tracks the S&P options market, where traders bet on the future direction of the index. A rising VIX suggests professional traders are betting on wild swings in the S&P 50 Index. On the contrary, a falling VIX reflects their expectations of relatively smaller moves and consequently a calmer market. The ProShares Trust VIX Mid-Term Futures ETF (BATS:VIXM), an exchange-traded fund that tracks the S&P 500 VIX Mid-Term Futures Index, which ...Full story available on Benzinga.com
