VIX - Back to the elevated volatility

23 thg 8, 2022

On 3rd August 2022, we set a medium-term price target for VIX at 30 USD. Then a week later, we updated this price target to short-term. Our view derives from the premise that the stock market ceased its bear market rally and will continue to drift lower. Technical indicators indicate intense selling pressure across major U.S. stock market indices over the short term. At the same time, bearish fundamental factors are due to persist for much longer, over the medium and long term. These factors will drive the global economy into a deeper recession toward the end of the year, causing a risk-off sentiment accompanied by elevated volatility. Therefore, we have no reason to change our assessment. Accordingly, we stick to the 30 USD price target.
