Why the VVIX Matters More Than the VIX Right Now

The VIX has been falling all summer, but Lucas and Luna dig into a less-watched number that's still flashing caution: the VVIX, the volatility of the VIX. With the VIX at 14.25 and the VVIX at 87.48, the gap between them tells a story about market fragility that most investors miss. They explore what the VVIX measures, why a high VVIX can signal trouble even when the VIX is low, and how options traders are using it to hedge ahead of the Fed's next move. Drawing on recent market data and the history of volatility spikes, they explain why this volatility-of-volatility metric has been a better warning signal than the VIX itself. If you've ever been lulled into complacency by a calm VIX, this episode helps you read the hidden stress in the options market. #VVIX #Volatility #VIX #OptionsMarket #MarketRisk #Investing #Finance #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #StockMarket #BearMarket #Hedging #FederalReserve #TreasuryYields #MarketSignals #Derivatives #RiskManagement #Podcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
