Stock Market Volatility Holds Support Ahead Of Key Fed Rate Decision: The Bull, Bear Case For The VIX
Portfolio Pulse from Melanie Schaffer
The CBOE Volatility Index (VIX), tracked by the ProShares Ultra VIX Short Term Futures ETF (UVXY) and other tickers, fell about 1.6% on Friday. Investors are anticipating the Federal Reserve's decision on a potential rate hike on July 25 and 26. The VIX measures near-term volatility in the stock market, indicating the level of fear in the S&P 500. The market seems to be pricing in a hawkish tone from the Fed, which could increase volatility. Traders can use MIAX’s SPIKES Volatility products, traded on SPIKES Volatility Index (SPIKE), to trade this volatility. These products track expected volatility in the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (SPY) over the next 30 days.
