🔴 Leveraged Volatility ETF (UVIX) is trading 2.2% down as futures-curve dynamics offset market caution

UVIX is trading at $39.92 (-2.22%) as futures-curve dynamics appear to offset caution.

• Equities weakened while UVIX declined; its short-term VIX-futures exposure is not moving in lockstep with spot-market risk.
• VIX rose to approximately 15.26, indicating higher near-term hedging demand; its move remained modest relative to UVIX’s decline.
• Renewed U.S.-Iran attacks lifted Brent crude above $91 and pressured stocks; hawkish Federal Reserve commentary increased September rate-hike expectations toward 60%, while daily leverage effects offset caution.
