Implied volatilities increased across asset classes last week amidst the geopolitical overhang created by the instability of commercial transit along the Strait of Hormuz and mixed signals from Iranian hard-liners undermining the country’s appetite for a resumption of peace talks. Equity, rates, credit, and FX implied volatilities all posted modest gains (see Exhibit 1), with the VIX® Index ending the week 1.25 pts higher to 18.7% - despite the fact that the S&P-500® has rallied to record highs
