    History suggests you should buy the dip if stocks falter at this level

    Investor fear — as measured by the CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) — is slowly drifting lower. In fact, the VIX just dropped below 15 (which has been historically significant support) for the first time since October. Real time (or actual) volatility has dropped even more than implied by the VIX.

    Markets Need to Keep an Eye on the Lucky Country

    The Australia dollar is usually one of the major beneficiaries of a global “risk on” rally in markets like the one this year given its close economic ties to China. The latest decline came as Reserve Bank of Australia Governor Philip Lowe shifted to a neutral policy outlook as he acknowledged increased economic risks at home and abroad. Indeed, the nation’s economic data has been consistently falling below analysts’ forecasts since the beginning of December as measured by the Citi Economic Surprise Indexes amid a weakening housing market and high consumer debt loads.

    [$$] One Year After VIX Blowup, Investors Still Feel Sting of Volatility Bets

Investors can also use futures contracts tied to the Cboe Volatility Index, Wall Street’s fear gauge, or derivatives like options to make such bets. Speculators, a group that includes hedge-fund investors, trimmed bearish VIX bets late last year, as they anticipated greater turbulence in the market.

    Investors remain on edge even after big January comeback — and that might be a good thing

    The fragile psychology and tentative stance of market participants right now will probably serve the market well for a while, according to strategists. Traders are wary, shown in part by the stickiness of the Cboe Volatility Index hanging up near the somewhat elevated 20 threshold in recent weeks despite the rally. The public has continued to pull money from stock mutual and exchange-traded funds, on a net basis, even with the market finding its footing in the past month.
