The Kobeissi Letter noted in a post that tech stocks are experiencing one of the most volatile periods in history. The ratio of the Nasdaq 100 Volatility Index (VXN) to the S&P 500 Volatility Index (VIX) has risen to 1.7, its highest level in 23 years. This marks the first time the ratio has topped 1.5 since 2018. By comparison, the metric peaked at around 1.6 during the 2008 financial crisis. Currently, VXN stands at 28 points, while VIX is at 16 points – the latter is 43% lower than the former. VXN has remained above the 20-point threshold for five consecutive months, the longest such stretch since the 2022 bear market. Markets are pricing in significant volatility risk for tech stocks.

Gold prices rebound above $4,100 per ounce, but the Fed's hawkish stance dampens the outlook.

Gold prices rebounded to above $4,100 per ounce following Wednesday's sell-off. The rebound was supported by a weaker U.S. dollar and renewed Middle East geopolitical tensions after fresh reciprocal strikes between the U.S. and Iran on Wednesday. However, rising energy prices may complicate inflation outlooks, reinforcing market expectations that the Federal Reserve will hold interest rates high for a longer period or implement additional hikes. The minutes of the Fed's mid-June policy meeting highlighted a hawkish shift within the committee, weighing on precious metals. Capital Economics economist Thomas Ryan stated: "The minutes reaffirm that the door to a September rate hike remains wide open." (Jin10)
