According to historical data, the VIX is usually above the 30 mark during high levels of investor fear, whereas the gauge is normally below the 20 mark during stable markets.\nAs the volatility index increased, various volatility-based ETFs also gained significantly during the day, reflecting the increased need for downside protection.\nThe strongest gains were reported by the volatility-based ETFs that provide leverage to the short-term volatility index futures.\nThese ETFs provide amplified exposure to the VIX futures contracts and are normally used for hedging purposes during the short term. \nThe rally in volatility was not limited to leveraged products. Traditional volatility products also witnessed an increase in activity as investors looked for exposure to the rising market uncertainty.\nThe surge in volatility-linked ETFs reflects rising uncertainty in global markets as investors grapple with escalating geopolitical tensions, including the ongoing conflicts in the Middle East and Eastern Europe, alongside fresh economic crosscurrents. \nAdding to market jitters, the latest employment report from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics showed an unexpected drop in nonfarm payrolls and a rise in the unemployment rate to 4.4%, raising concerns about the strength of the U.S. economy.\nMeanwhile a volatility in crude oil prices has raised concerns about renewed inflationary pressure. Together, these factors have fueled market swings and driven traders toward volatility-linked ETFs as short-term hedges against potential equity market turbulence.\nVolatility ETFs, track the futures of the VIX rather than the index itself. As such, they move based on the changes in the VIX futures curve. During sudden market shocks, however, these funds can deliver sharp gains.\nAs the Cboe Volatility Index currently stands at around 26, having swung sharply up, market players are keeping an eye on the market to see if the volatility continues. If the market does move past the 30 level, the volatility ETFs may remain in focus as investors prepare for the turbulence.\nImage: Created using artificial intelligence via Midjourney\nTo add Benzinga News as your preferred source on Google, click here.","kind":"highlight","is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":false,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"1","news_tag":"economic","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":0,"need_auth":false,"code":"91000000","status":"200"},"commentList":[],"isCommentEnd":true,"newsSizeData":{"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"favoriteSize":0,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false},"APP":{"userAgent":"Mozilla/5.0 AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko; compatible; ClaudeBot/1.0; +claudebot@anthropic.com)","isDev":false,"isTTM":true,"tenantId":"TBGLOBAL","deviceId":"web-server-community-laohu8-v3","version":"4.36.2","shortVersion":"4.36.2","platform":"web","vendor":"web","appName":"ttm","isIOS":false,"isAndroid":false,"isTiger":false,"isTHS":false,"isWeiXin":false,"isWeiXinMini":false,"isWeiBo":false,"isQQ":false,"isBaiduSwan":false,"isBaiduBox":false,"isDingTalk":false,"isToutiao":false,"isOnePlus":false,"isHuaWei":false,"isXiaomi":false,"isXiaomiWebView":false,"isOppo":false,"isVivo":false,"isSamsung":false,"isMobile":false},"href":"/m/news/2617496637","isCrawlerRequest":true}
