Implied volatilities were mixed last week as oil prices continued to climb and the Fed came out more hawkish than expected. Brent oil prices briefly jumped to over $126/bbl – their highest level since the Iran conflict started – while oil volatility (OVX Index) remained elevated in the 88th percentile high. In contrast, the VIX® Index ended the week near a 3-month low of 16.9% as the SPX Index hit an all-time high on the back of better-than-expected earnings. Learn more in this week’s Macro Vola
