The financial blog Zero Hedge states that the VIX index is severely disconnected from overall volatility

According to Jin Shi reports, the financial blog Zero Hedge pointed out that the VIX, or fear index, is currently only one-third of the level on America's "Liberation Day" (April 2, 2025), supported by the capital expenditure expectations of the "Seven Giants" in the U.S. stock market, while overall market volatility is comparable to that during the crash in April 2025.
