NEW YORK - What do you do when daily stock market gyrations all but dry up? Apparently, trade volatility like never before.
The Cboe Volatility Index .VIX - nicknamed as ‘Wall Street’s fear index,’ - is on track to end the decade at a level about a third lower than its lifetime average, according to Refinitiv data. With the S&P 500 Index nearly tripling since the end of 2009, the average level of the VIX this decade is the lowest of the three since it launched in the early 90s, even with a number of periodic spikes higher.
The launch of futures and options on the VIX in the mid-2000s led the way for the rollout of sophisticated exchange traded products near the end of that decade and provided everyday investors the first chance to trade vol on its own.Some allowed investors to bet on stock gyrations rising, while others let traders bet on the opposite outcome.
