At the time, I was not quite sure whether this was a fleeting anomaly or whether there was significance to it.&nbsp; Just over a month later, the anomaly persists, and frankly I remain unsure what to make of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My concerns are that we are unable to say that we are truly in the clear as long as this situation persists.&nbsp; It also raises the worry that while many investors believe that we saw market capitulation a few sessions ago, we never really saw capitulation in the mega-cap stocks that dominate the NASDAQ 100 Stock Index (NDX)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is a certain logic to the relative quiescence of VXN relative to VIX.&nbsp; About 47% NDX weight is concentrated in its top 6 components: Microsoft (MSFT), Apple (AAPL), Amazon (AMZN), Alphabet (GOOG, GOOGL), Facebook (FB) and Intel (INTC).&nbsp; Those stocks comprise about 20% of the weight of the S&amp;P 500 Index (SPX).&nbsp; Furthermore, NDX has no financial or energy companies and little exposure to retail.&nbsp; Those sectors have been a drag on SPX.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Below are some graphs that illustrate the phenomenon.&nbsp; The charts immediately below show the relationship between VIX and VXN over the past year.&nbsp; The green area in the middle of the three graphs shows the recent period where VIX has exceeded VXN, while the bottom graph shows the exceedingly high correlation between the two indices.&nbsp; The high correlation is unsurprising, as markets tend to show increased correlation during times of dislocation and there is high degree of overlap between the SPX and NDX indices that underlie them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"624\" height=\"370\" data-src=\"\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/04\/image-6.png\" alt=\"VIX Index\" class=\"wp-image-40995 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/04\/image-6.png 624w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/04\/image-6-300x178.png 300w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 624px) 100vw, 624px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 624px; aspect-ratio: 624\/370;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Source: Bloomberg<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While this is certainly unusual over the past year, I decided to examine the historical precedent for this type of behavior.&nbsp; It is indeed exceedingly rare and typically fleeting, as evidenced by the 14-year chart below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"624\" height=\"376\" data-src=\"\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/04\/image-16.png\" alt=\"VIX Index\" class=\"wp-image-40996 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/04\/image-16.png 624w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/04\/image-16-300x181.png 300w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 624px) 100vw, 624px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 624px; aspect-ratio: 624\/376;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I cut off the data at 14 years because there were no occurrences prior to the 2007 market crisis.&nbsp; That is unsurprising, because many of the components in the tech-heavy NDX were more volatile than the blue-chips that led its more diversified counterpart.&nbsp; We see from the middle chart that there were few occurrences of VIX outpacing VXN after the markets found their footing in 2009.&nbsp; Most of those also were accompanied by market events that caused volatility to spike, such as the volatility crunch of early 2018.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Returning to the potential investment thesis behind this anomaly, the decision that investors must face is whether the relative calm in the largest names in NDX can persist.&nbsp; If you believe that the market correction is incomplete unless the capitulation encompasses the entire market, including its leaders, then the fact that VIX is outpacing VXN should be worrisome.&nbsp; If you believe that those leaders have seen their worst, then this anomaly may simply be just an oddity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An anomaly in the VXN persists, and Steve Sosnick remains unsure what to make of it.
