Low volatility across the board besides Bitcoin – Volatility Watch
Forex pairs in a relatively quiet mood
Volatility in Bitcoin and silver skyrockets
US equities enjoy low volatility despite rally to record highs
Euro/dollar volatility has dropped aggressively over the past week as markets are bracing for inflation data both from the US and Eurozone this week. Similarly, volatility in yen crosses remains muted even though the Japanese currency is trading near historical lows against its major peers, while the latest downbeat inflation data out of Japan could ignite some volatility moving forward.
In commodities, gold looks quiet even though there is no de-escalation on the geopolitical front, at the same time oil is exhibiting low volatility ahead of the OPEC meeting on Sunday. Interestingly, silver has seen a massive jump in volatility as last week its price surged to the highest level since December 2012.
Turning to risky assets, US stocks' volatility remains very low considering that all major US indices recently posted fresh all-time highs. In the meantime, Bitcoin traders seem to have been very active lately as the crypto space has grabbed the headlines following the SEC’s approval of spot-Ethereum ETFs.
