“Extremely Low”: Markets could face a volatility surge

VIX stays low amid global tensions as analyst warns of potential market turmoil and rising risks

Financial markets may be underestimating growing risks despite heightened global tensions, according to Blueberry Markets senior market analyst Zoran Kresovic.

Kresovic says the VIX, a key measure of market volatility, remains surprisingly low despite rising uncertainty.

He warns that higher oil prices, bond yields and volatility could combine to create significant pressure across financial markets, potentially triggering turmoil if conditions worsen.

The comments come as investors continue to monitor inflation, interest rates and geopolitical risks that could challenge the recent resilience of global markets.
