UVIX is trading at $37.80, up +3.31% after hours, with Fed policy uncertainty and megacap earnings offering possible context—not a confirmed cause—for the rise.

  • The Fed held rates at 3.75%–4.00%; two dissenting votes and inflation concerns kept policy uncertainty in focus.
  • Microsoft and Alphabet reported after the close, while options markets priced sizable potential share moves.
  • The regular-session VIX was reported lower.
