VIX FIX: Volatility Just Got Trumped

After a rapid spike in volatility and stock market death spiral following the historic U.S. Presidential Election, the market is seemingly coming to terms with a Trump Presidency. The outlook of a potential softening in the regulatory space under the new administration, seen as a win for businesses and investors, triggered a rally in which the Dow Jones Index saw several days of record highs, breaking the 19,000 level for the first-time ever. Meanwhile, the CBOE Volatility Index remained complacent, staying in a narrow range between 12 1/2 and 14 1/2 this week. Admittedly, no one truly knows how the new administration will govern, and as we approach inauguration day, volatility may present itself as a guest of honor.
