"Overall, I feel that VIX likely can rise to the mid-20’s and possibly mid-30’s by October, meaning that implied volatility at current levels is currently cheap, in my view," says Newton in a note published late Tuesday. Consequently, any decline in the VIX in coming weeks may represent an opportunity to buy cheap volatility on a 2-3 month timeframe, he adds. "Bottom line, any move down to 14-15.50 would signal an appealing risk/reward opportunity for investors who utilize low implied volatility for hedging or speculation, and it’s important to keep track of VIX in the weeks ahead," Newton concludes.
