このコンテンツについて
Recent shifts in the VIX have correlated closely with pronounced swings in the equity markets. On Monday, major equity indexes saw a strong rebound, recovering from significant losses incurred last Friday. The S&P 500 rose 1.47 percent, the Dow Jones was up 1.34 percent, and the Nasdaq 100 climbed 1.87 percent. These gains followed robust earnings from leading technology and semiconductor companies, particularly among the so-called Magnificent Seven stocks. Anticipation of a Federal Reserve interest rate cut at the upcoming September FOMC meeting has also been a significant factor, with the market-implied probability for a cut jumping from 40 percent before last Friday to 90 percent following weaker-than-expected jobs and manufacturing data.
Broader economic indicators contributed to the volatility backdrop. June factory orders in the US fell by 4.8 percent month-over-month—the steepest decline in more than five years—matching expectations. Although such a drop in manufacturing activity often raises concerns regarding economic growth, equity investors appear to be welcoming the possibility that it will prompt the Federal Reserve to adopt a more accommodative stance. This has led to increased risk appetite among investors and a corresponding drop in the VIX, signaling reduced demand for downside protection in the options market.
Historically, the VIX often surges during periods of market stress and retreats when investor confidence returns. It briefly jumped to 20.38 on August 1, after trading as low as 15.03 in late July, before moderating alongside the stock recovery. The recent decline in both the VIX and its futures suggests a trend toward normalization after last week’s turmoil, but the underlying fundamentals—shifting Fed policy expectations, notable earnings announcements, and ongoing economic data releases—will likely continue to drive volatility in the near term.
This pattern highlights a broader trend visible through the summer: the VIX has generally stayed moderate but reacts rapidly to sharp shifts in market sentiment either due to macroeconomic news or major corporate developments. With open interest in VIX futures standing at over 150,000 contracts, traders remain highly engaged, scanning for cues that could signal the next market move.
