With just days to go until the Harris-Trump election, volatility is expected to explode higher.
All thanks to massive uncertainty, which markets aren’t fond of.
In fact, according to Peter Repetto, investment strategist at iCapital, as quoted by Quartz, “We think volatility probably should increase going into the presidential election. If you look at historically how the VIX index has moved into the lead up of presidential elections, typically we see about a 10-point rise from the beginning of August to basically the end of October and then you start to taper off a little bit into the election just as you had that that move higher in volatility. So, it wouldn’t be that surprising to us if you did see a spike in volatility here.”
That being said, investors may want to jump into volatility trades to take advantage.
Here are three to consider.
