JPMorgan sees the Cboe Volatility Index (VIX) averaging around 16, slightly higher than 15.5 across 2024 \u2014 still, it believes macro indicators suggest volatility will be higher, with data pointing to a VIX level of around 19 on average.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Markets could see long bouts of calm interrupted by \u201cfat tails\u201d <\/strong>\u2014 extreme market swings \u2014 with BofA forecasting a fivefold increase in market fragility shocks in the S&P 500 Index compared to the past 80 years, with a major index shock likely on the cards. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>That trend has already started: <\/strong>\u201cThe magnitude of fragility shocks in the largest S&P stocks reached 30+ year extremes in 2024 with few signs of dissipating if the AI boom continues,\u201d BofA strategists including Benjamin Bowler wrote.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Volatility will likely be concentrated in the first half of the year:<\/strong> \u201cWe could go straight into a relatively elevated equity volatility environment in the first half of next year,\u201d UBS Group\u2019s head of US equity-derivatives research, Max Grinacoff said.
