From AI sell-offs to oil spikes, investors have plenty of reasons to seek stability. Here are some ETFs that may help investors achieve stability.
If you bought ProShares Ultra VIX Short-Term Futures ETF (CBOE:UVXY) a year ago hoping to ride the next panic, your account tells the story the marketing won't.
Volatility, volatility, volatility – markets have seen plenty of turmoil this year, and not just because of fears about AI. Attacks on Venezuela, the U.S.-Israel-Iran war, and even more potential conflicts have all created major volatility.

ProShares Ultra VIX Short-Term Futures ETF offers a 1.5x leveraged exposure to short-term VIX futures, spiking during volatility surges. The recent VIX spike to 35 on March 9, 2026, marks an interim volatility top, with historical patterns suggesting such levels are unsustainable. UVXY is structurally prone to rapid decay due to roll effects, especially as VIX futures revert to contango after volatility events.
ProShares Ultra VIX Short-Term Futures ETF and ProShares Short VIX Short-Term Futures ETF offer tactical tools for trading volatility spikes and normalization. I recommend Hold ratings on both UVXY and SVXY, emphasizing their use for short-term, daily trading due to compounding and NAV decay risks. With S&P 500 expected to remain flat in 2026, volatility will likely be driven by exogenous shocks such as geopolitical events and energy price fluctuations.
