VIX Futures Slip, Treasury Volatility Gains After Trump Attack.

Options markets have shown little reaction to the failed assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump, with 10-year Treasury volatility increasing slightly and VIX futures decreasing. The S&P 500 Index and traditional safe havens like gold, the dollar, and Treasuries have experienced relatively low volatility. The lack of significant market impact is attributed to the steady rise of tech stocks and the expiration of puts that have become worthless. While there has been some speculation about potential election and post-election uncertainty, overall market volatility remains low. [Extracted from the article]
