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.

VXX: A Behind The Scenes Look Inside The Volatility Index ETN
The iPath Series B S&P 500 VIX Short-Term Future ETN offers retail investors exposure to S&P 500 volatility via front-month VIX futures. Due to the negative roll effect in contango markets, VXX is unsuitable for buy-and-hold strategies and best used for short-term hedging or trading. As an ETN, VXX carries additional credit risk tied to Barclays' solvency, unlike ETFs, which are bankruptcy remote.

VXX: We Are Too Low (Rating Upgrade)
Volatility is currently very cheap, making VXX attractive as a tactical long position rather than a buy-and-hold investment. Seasonality trends and unresolved tariff uncertainties could quickly increase market volatility, supporting a bullish stance on VXX now. VXX offers effective short-term portfolio hedging, especially when volatility is low and macro risks remain unresolved.

VXX: Macro Risks Abound, A 20 VIX May Be The New Normal (Rating Upgrade)
I upgrade VXX from sell to hold, reflecting a balance of macro risks and recent volatility trends. Trade war fears, inflation volatility, and rising oil prices are key factors keeping volatility elevated this summer. Technical analysis shows VXX support near $40 and resistance at $60, suggesting a range-bound outlook through summer.
