Why Caution Still Matters in a Bullish Market? ETFs in Focus

Rising inflation, record U.S. debt and AI-driven risks are fueling volatility, ETFs like VXX, VIXY and VIXM offer timely hedging options.

Why Caution Still Matters in a Bullish Market? ETFs in Focus

Long Volatility: The Next Big Macro Play

VIX-related ETFs offer asymmetric return potential, especially with current volatility levels well below historical averages, making long-VIX trades attractive now. Recent market calm masks significant geopolitical and economic risks, including unresolved trade tensions and the outsized influence of AI-driven stocks. The VIX's current low percentile suggests markets are underpricing uncertainty, despite ongoing global instability and unpredictable policy moves.

VIXY Can Be An Appealing Market Hedge

ProShares VIX Short-Term Futures ETF offers short-term exposure to S&P 500 volatility, acting as a hedge during sharp market declines, but is not suitable for long-term holding. Due to futures roll costs and long-term market growth, VIXY tends to decay in value over time, making it best for tactical, short-term trades. Risks include value erosion, unpredictable volatility spikes, and complex tax implications, so careful timing and position management are essential.

Volatility ETFs Spike on Renewed Trump Tariff Threats

Volatility ETFs are on the rise as Trump's renewed tariff threats sent the VIX fear gauge soaring 29.3% last week.

VIXY: The Fear Has Subsided (Rating Upgrade)

VIXY has dropped 32% since our 'Strong Sell' call; the trade thesis has played out as volatility normalized. With VIX back under 20 and the futures curve in contango, further downside in VIXY is limited, so we move to a 'Hold' rating. VIXY is strictly a short-term trading instrument, not suitable for buy-and-hold due to persistent value erosion over time.

3 ETFs Thriving in April's Market Chaos—Are You Missing Out?

VIXY: Today's Volatility Levels Are Not Sustainable

Investors often panic during volatile markets, leading to poor decisions; current market volatility is historic, comparable to Covid and the Great Financial Crisis. The S&P VIX Index index measures market volatility; current high levels are unsustainable long-term as continuous put buying is unrealistic. ProShares VIX Short-Term Futures ETF tracks short-term VIX futures; it gains during market upheaval but suffers massive losses over time due to the roll effect.
