VIX Triggers On Deck & So Is Melt-Up Risk

From Live Trading Room (08.20.24)

In this short clip from Live Trading Room (08.20.24), I discuss the current market conditions, noting that while the VIX and correlation indices have returned to previous lows, the dispersion index remains elevated.

I highlight the significance of upcoming macroeconomic events, such as the Jackson Hole meeting and Nvidia earnings, which could introduce market volatility.

I also point out the role of systematic flows, particularly from CTAs and vol control funds, in driving market movements amidst low trading volumes.
