The CBOE SKEW Index is flashing a critical 'risk premium' signal as it surges above its 50-day average and trades near its 52-week highs, indicating that despite easing crash fears, market participants are aggressively pricing in tail risk due to tariff uncertainty and geopolitical tensions. The recent volatility spike, evidenced by the index climbing from 144.46 to 154.82 before settling at 147.28, confirms that hedging demand remains robust; investors are willing to pay a premium for protection even as equity optimism persists, creating a divergent environment where the underlying market feels safe but the fear gauge suggests fragility. |
