Despite the S&amp;P 500 Index SPDR S&amp;P 500 (SPY US) declining to the 200-day average, the VIX Index has fallen by a whopping 20% during the last nine trading days.
Realized volatility has dropped below 15 and is the lowest in more than a year, driven by a rising economic surprise index and lower perceived earnings-related uncertainty.
However, our Volatility Heat Map and the direct link between the MOVE Index and stock market valuation reveal current equity market calmness comes with at least a whiff of complacency.

Research from Water Tower Research

Water Tower Research is a leading equity research firm that provides research on micro, small and mid cap companies.

Water Tower Research was founded by Wall Street veterans after witnessing a fundamental shift in the investment research industry with the result being a declining knowledge base among investors, a lack of awareness and a shrinking pool of fundamental research being conducted on companies across the small-cap and micro-cap spectrum. The same issues are now increasingly occurring in the mid-cap space. This sea change within the investment community is impacting not only the companies themselves but also current shareholders and potential investors. With significantly less active sell-side sponsorship by Wall Street, a substantial information gap has developed between companies and various constituents in the financial community. The net result is fewer channels for insight and information to flow between companies and investors.
