🔴 VTIX is trading 7.12% down today amid broader market weakness and oil supply shocks

VTIX is trading at $7.70 (-7.12%) in after-hours on March 18, 2026, reversing its regular session gains as macroeconomic headwinds pressure the broader market.

• The decline erases a strong +9.51% regular session rally to $8.29, occurring despite a lack of company-specific news, earnings, or announcements.
• The move aligns with significant weakness in major indices, with the S&P 500 falling 1.52% and the NASDAQ dropping 1.25%.
• Investor sentiment is currently weighed down by hawkish Fed projections and escalating oil supply shocks in the Middle East.
