Volatility remains elevated while the term structure continues to flatten, keeping the front of the curve richly bid. Breadth remains broadly intact, an important tell that positioning has not turned outright defensive. The front of the VIX curve is flattening relative to deferred contracts — behavior consistent with hedging demand rather than a directional view.
