UVIX is trading at $49.47, down 2.15%, as subdued volatility pressures the leveraged long-volatility ETF.

  • The CBOE VIX fell 1.65% to 14.90 on August 7, its lowest level since January.
  • The S&P 500 and Nasdaq remain near record highs, while today’s modestly weaker equity indexes have not produced a meaningful volatility spike.
  • Lower Treasury yields and expectations for steady Fed policy are reducing demand for VIX protection.
