On November 12, iPath Series B S&P 500 VIX Short-Term Futures ETN fell 5.12% in Regular Trading, trading at $17.96 with turnover of $122 million.
The move was closely tied to further weakness in the Cboe Volatility Index, which fell 1.64 points to 17.82, its lowest level since November 5, extending the recent pullback in market fear and pressuring products linked to short-dated VIX futures.
Background context indicates the VIX had previously surged above 28 during a sharp market selloff, then retreated to 21.48, 19.92, and now 17.82, including its largest one-day drop since April 14, 2025. Because iPath Series B S&P 500 VIX Short-Term Futures ETN is highly sensitive to near-term volatility expectations, a cooling in hedging demand typically leads to amplified downside in the note.
