BlockBeats News, June 9th - Analyst Divyang Shah stated that last Friday the U.S. stock market, especially the AI and Tech sectors, experienced a sharp sell-off. The reasons behind this were diverse, but the most significant impact was the sudden reversal of volatility—the VIX fear index surged above the 20 level, and the futures curve followed suit.
Currently, this shock has gradually subsided, although the VIX spot level remains slightly higher than before last Friday's plunge. The near-month VIX futures contract has narrowed the spread with the spot price to equilibrium. The futures curve has shifted slightly downward but still maintains an overall upward slope. This indicates that despite the volatility surge, the market sentiment has not undergone a fundamental reversal, and the overall tone still leans towards optimism.
Investors remain cautious about the recent gains in AI and Tech stocks. However, as the losses from last Friday are gradually absorbed, the market has not slid into full pessimism.
