VIXY

The CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) has surged to a 5-month high, indicating growing apprehensions in financial markets. This surge is largely due to the rise in U.S. Treasury yields, which have reached levels not seen since 2007. The increase in bond yields has caused a decline in the value of the iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF (NASDAQ:TLT), which has dropped by over 50% since March 2020. The rise in yields is also impacting the stock market, with several sectors relying on low or stable interest rates for their operations and profitability. ETFs such as Proshares Trust VIX Short-Term Futures ETF (NYSE:VIXY), Proshares Trust VIX Mid-Term Futures ETF (NYSE:VIXM), and 2x Long VIX Futures ETF (NYSE:UVIX) provide investors with exposure to stock market volatility.
