UVIX is trading at $37.00, up 6.16%, as oil-supply concerns and equity-market risk aversion lift demand for volatility exposure.

  • Renewed Middle East tensions and attacks in Saudi Arabia pushed oil toward $112 a barrel, heightening supply and inflation concerns.
  • Weak U.S. equity futures and renewed worries about AI spending after Tesla and Meta results added to risk aversion.
  • UVIX seeks twice the daily performance of an index of front- and second-month VIX futures.
