Transitory Market Fear of Inflation

  • The market fear gauge (VIX) looks to have normalized since the onset of inflationary fears in the second half of 2020 into the first half of 2021.
  • The VIX is currently hovering around 20, which is in line with the average VIX reading since 1990 (19.57).
  • The increasing spread between inflation and the VIX shows that the market fear for inflation may be cooling off, illustrating that the transitory inflation argument may have substance.
