Why the VIX Spikes and the Market Stays Calm in June 2026

Lucas and Luna unpack a curious divergence: the VIX has risen 4.3% in the past five days to 18.44, yet the S&P 500 is up 0.3% and the Dow has gained 1.3%. What's causing this gap? They zero in on the Iran energy premium, the Fed's new chairman Kevin Warsh, and the real message from the options market. Along the way, they explain the VIX term structure, the role of tail-risk hedging, and why a rising VIX doesn't always mean stocks are about to fall. A concrete look at how volatility markets price geopolitics in real time. #VIX #Volatility #S&P500 #DowJones #KevinWarsh #Fed #IranEnergyPremium #HormuzStrait #OptionsMarket #TailRisk #MarketDivergence #StockMarket #Inflation #Geopolitics #June2026 #Economics #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
