UVIX is trading at $55.20 (-5.04%) as equity volatility continues to fade following the softer June CPI report, which eased expectations for further Fed tightening.
- The risk-on market shift has significantly reduced demand for near-term volatility hedges, putting downward pressure on VIX futures-linked products.
- The move aligns with a broader pattern of lower pre-market volatility pricing, following weakness observed in the prior trading session.
