Kay Van-Petersen, Asia macro strategist at Saxo Bank, takes a closer look at low volatility with the VIX index.

He says that if US equities and single stocks move higher in the next days to weeks, volatility could hit new record low levels.

Van-Petersen notes that low volatility means cheaper insurance for a portfolio and says that longer-dated investments will mean the inclusion of key market events such as nonfarm payrolls and FOMC meetings.
