It’s the monthly jobs numbers today and they’re not going to be pretty and will be possibly the tip of the iceberg as we head into May. [Trading Tips] Good morning. This year’s bear market came after a strong performing year for stocks. But unlike other bear markets in the past, we’re not seeing extreme volatility. Yes, we’re having plenty of days where the market indices move 2-3 percent. But volatility is measured in part by the VIX, or volatility index. The VIX historically trades around 17-20. It’s been a bit higher this year, but hasn’t gone into the 40+ range, where we typically see traders reach peak bearishness. And overall the VIX has been declining rapidly during intra-day trading, another move not seen in prior bear markets. Overall, this could be a sign that traders are quietly betting on the Fed ending its interest rate hike policy sooner than expected. If that doesn’t happen, we may yet see the VIX top 40 – amid the market hitting new lows for the year. For now, traders should still stay cautious, but should look for further confirming signs of optimism going forward.
