PRESS ROOM
VIX remains rangebound as markets maintain optimism
Thursday 28th January '21
Equity markets have largely maintained their positive momentum in January continuing their strong run in December despite rising Covid-19 infections in many countries. The CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) currently stands at around 27 (as of 27 January) and its futures curve is not pricing volatility to rise significantly in the coming weeks and months. Fourth quarter economic data for the US and Europe may serve as a reality check reminding markets that the economic recovery still has a long way to go.
