  • VIX Futures Curve – STILL IN CONTANGO.

    FROM MATT THOMPSON:

    • Spot $VIX “gravity” on VIX futures does not get stronger when the curve is steep.  In fact, the opposite.  
    • Why?  Because steep curve = a lot of time to expiration.  and “gravity” has the greatest effect when a future is close to expiration
  • And much more…
