Mars Finance News, June 23 — According to Bloomberg, investors are increasing their bets amid rising market volatility, with demand for VIX call options (VIX Call Options), which gauge US stock market panic sentiment, reaching its highest level this year. Despite easing tensions between the US and Iran and the continued rise of US stocks, the market remains concerned about stubborn inflation pressures and the Federal Reserve's hawkish stance potentially driving interest rates higher. As the S&P 500 approaches a historical high, more investors are choosing to hedge risks by purchasing volatility products to guard against market pullbacks. In other words, although the current market maintains an optimistic outlook, institutional funds are quietly buying "insurance" in advance for potential sharp fluctuations.
