Volatility relatively subdued as markets remain optimistic
Monday 26th October '20
Over the last couple of weeks, we have seen President Trump walk away from fiscal stimulus talks before swiftly resuming negotiations. Markets have also heard deadlines being announced by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on reaching a deal. Given the developments, markets are remaining relatively calm with the CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) only rising slightly to just under 30 on 26 October – up from around 25 on 12 October.
