UVIX is trading at $36.55, up +4.43% versus the regular-session close, as after-hours volatility demand likely reflects uncertainty following Alphabet’s earnings miss and concerns about AI spending.
- Weakness in the broader market added to the uncertain backdrop.
- September inflation and strong GDP reinforced the possibility of tighter Fed policy.
- Front-month VIX futures rose 2.16% overnight, but that earlier move alone does not explain UVIX’s after-hours gain.
