Biggest Vol ETN Breaks: VXX Halted Four Times As It Soars, Completely Disconnected From The VIX
02:23pm, Tuesday, 15'th Mar 2022 Zero Hedge
Biggest Vol ETN Breaks: VXX Halted Four Times As It Soars, Completely Disconnected From The VIX The Volmageddon event of February 2020 is back, only this time instead of destroying the XIV inverse ETF, it is now targeting the VXX Yesterday we said that we had a feeling the market would break today, and one look at the VXX volatility-tracking ETN, confirms just that. As a reminder, on Monday morning Barclays announced - to the shock and dismay of millions of VXX investors on both the long and short side - that it would suspend any further sales from inventory and any further issuances of the VXX VIX Short-Term Futures ETN, claiming that “ Barclays does not currently have sufficient issuance capacity to support further sales from inventory and any further issuances of the ETNs. ” As some humorously put it, a volatility ETN just broke because of… volatility. As a result, we also said that it is likely that this product would trade significantly above its asset-based IV price; in fact it would become completely disconnected from its underlying volatility tracker, it will likely become very difficult to short these products & without shares to short, authorized participants can''t do arbitrage operations they typical run to drive price down to IV Price.

Carnage: China Breaks, Apple Cracks Key Support, Yields Soar As Rate Hike Odds Surge

Carnage: China Breaks, Apple Cracks Key Support, Yields Soar As Rate Hike Odds Surge The week started off badly enough with nothing short of devastation in China, where Chinese stocks listed in Hong Kong had their worst day since the global financial crisis, as concerns over Beijing’s close relationship with Russia, a surge in covid cases, a lockdown in Shenzhen and renewed regulatory risks sparked panic selling. The Hang Seng index dropped more than 4%, sliding below 20,000 to the lowest level since 2015… ... as the Hang Seng China Enterprises Index closed down 7.2% on Monday, the biggest drop since November 2008 . Meanwhile, the Hang Sang Tech Index tumbled 11% in its worst decline since the gauge was launched in July 2020 , wiping out $2.1 trillion in value since a year-earlier peak, after the southern city of Shenzhen, a key tech hub near Hong Kong, was placed into lockdown to contain rising Covid-19 infections. The broader Hang Seng Index lost 5%. The US-traded Golden Dragon China index tumbled another 12%, taking its drawdown to -75% from its recent all time high, surpassing the drawdown recorded during the global financial crisis! “If the U.S. decides to impose sanctions on China in total or on individual Chinese companies doing business with Russia, that would be a concern,” said EM investing legend Mark Mobius, “The whole story is still up in the air in this case.” Meanwhile, as discussed last night in " All Hell is Breaking Loose in China ", it wasn''t just Chinese stocks that got taken to the woodshed: Chinese property developer junk bonds were true to their name, and issues by such formerly "solid" issuers as CIFI and Country Garden cratered to lowest levels in history, both trading about 50 cents on the dollar.
