UVIX is trading at $36.53, down -2.06%, as front-month VIX futures ease amid a low-volatility, risk-on market backdrop.
- The VIX was reported at 14.87, and the futures curve is in contango; stronger equity futures and falling oil prices reduce demand for leveraged long-volatility exposure.
- Monday’s AI-led equity rally, declining Treasury yields, and improving risk sentiment further pressured volatility products.
- No major U.S. economic release is scheduled for September 22; futures, rates, oil, and geopolitical headlines remain the main overnight drivers.
