Top and Flop ETFs of the First Half

S&P 500 Peaks And VIX Valleys As Market Signals

The S&P 500 is moderately overvalued with a P/E ratio above its historic mean, but it reached a new all-time high. The CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) is below 13, indicating low volatility in the market. Days with both an all-time high for the S&P 500 and a VIX below 13 were historically followed by a lower than average three-month performance.

VIXY: History Says Now Is The Time To Own Volatility

The US economy shows soft business conditions, lingering inflation, and concerning household debt. The S&P 500 continues to reach all-time highs while the volatility index remains low. Owning VIXY in small amounts as a hedge to the S&P 500 and timing it properly can be beneficial.

VIXY: Complacent Markets Warrant A Hedge

The Federal Reserve's pivot towards a 'soft landing' and potential rate cuts in 2024 has boosted asset prices and hurt hedges like VIXY. Downside risks are now higher as investors have become too complacent, expecting 7 consecutive rate cuts beginning in March. Middle East tensions could reignite inflation worries, causing the Fed to hold rates higher for longer.

VIXY: Like A Put Option, Without Using Options

Volatility is a constant presence in the markets, causing concern when high and uncertainty when low. The VIX, a measure of market volatility, cannot be directly invested in and has a high tracking error. With the VIX approaching lows, it may be a good time to consider a short-term position in VIXY.
