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.

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.
