UVIX is trading at $37.63, up 2.09%, as overnight volatility firmed modestly.

  • VIX futures stood at 17.73 and the VIX at 16.34; elevated long-term Treasury yields kept risk sentiment cautious.
  • The backdrop was mixed rather than a broad selloff: softer August inflation reduced October Fed-hike odds, while U.S. futures were generally higher.
  • Manufacturing data and jobless claims later in the session may add volatility.
