SPY

Cathie Wood, founder of Ark Invest, commented on the recent spike in the CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) and its implications. She compared the current market conditions to those in 1987 and 2008, attributing the spike to the unwinding of yen carry trades. Wood mentioned that the impact could be limited like in 1987, but broad-based price deflation could be more relevant now. She also suggested that the Fed funds rate should be closer to 1% if the 10-year Treasury note yield was around 2%. The SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (SPY) traded up 1.69%.
