VIX Fix: “Fire and Fury” in the Markets
As the war of words between the U.S. and North Korea escalated this week, major market indicators, fresh off record highs, tumbled, while volatility, complacent most of the summer, surged. The CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) spiked 44% on Thursday, closing at a 2017 high of 16.04 and spurring trading in VIX options and futures to new all-time single-day volume records. On Friday, the VIX Index closed in the mid 15 level, as the market cooled from the week’s fiery rhetoric. Let’s hope cooler heads prevail in the global diplomacy arena as well.
