Volatility Views 680: Wet, Hot Volatility Summer!

Summer has officially arrived in the vol markets. In this episode, Mark Longo and Russell Rhoads break down a week where the markets seemed to ignore everything from Middle East conflict to hot inflation numbers—until a Friday sell-off finally brought a splash of red to the screen.
The guys dive deep into the curious case of the "Unchanged Universe," where SVIX, UVIX, and VXX are sitting almost exactly where they were a week ago. Is this the start of a long, quiet "Volatility Summer," or is the market underestimating the impact of a new Fed regime?
