With hopes the war with Iran is ending, markets are exploding.
Oil prices are dropping. Volatility is on its way down.
And, according to President Trump, the war could be over in two to three weeks.
“We have had regime change. Now, regime change was not one of the things I had as a goal. I had one goal: they will have no nuclear weapon, and that goal has been attained. They will not have nuclear weapons. But we’re finishing the job, and I think within maybe two weeks, maybe a couple of days longer, to do the job. But we want to knock out every single they have,” Trump said from the Oval Office, as quoted by CNN.
If the war is ending, investors may want to bet on cooling volatility with ETFs such as:
The ProShares Short VIX Short-Term Futures ETF (SVXY), which seeks daily investment results, before fees and expenses, that correspond to one-half the inverse (-0.5x) of the daily performance of the S&P 500 VIX Short-Term Futures Index, as noted by ProShares.com. It also has an expense ratio of 0.95%.
-1x Short VIX Futures ETF (SVIX), is an inverse VIX-linked ETF that seeks to provide daily investment results, before fees and expenses, that correspond generally to the Short VIX Futures Index, as noted by VolatilityShares.com. As the VIX drops, the SVIX ETF rises.
Sincerely,
