The range of products on Swissquote’s trading platform now also includes options and futures on the popular VIX volatility index.
Now Swissquote clients can use market fluctuations as a source of returns.
In addition to the VIX, Swissquote clients can now trade Cboe options on the following indices:
- S&P 500 (SPX)
- Dow Jones (DJX)
- Nasdaq (NDX)
These trading instruments are part of Swissquote’s offering to the US market, with real-time price access.
The VIX, also known as the “fear index,” is one of the most well-known benchmarks of expected volatility and is based on option prices on the S&P 500. If the VIX rises, greater price volatility is expected, while a fall of its value indicates a drop in volatility.
