SOURCE EVIDENCE

"The many factors facing the U.S. stock market over the coming months, along with seasonality that favors fall corrections, could mean the VIX remains far too low on July 17, 2026. Seasonality, geopolitics, inflation, debt, the U.S. midterm elections, and the potential for surprises are compelling factors that could cause substantial stock market volatility over the coming months."
