On August 25, despite Nvidia's earnings report and Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Walsh's speech at Jackson Hole being the focus of the market this week, traders have begun to prepare for the market volatility brought by the November U.S. midterm elections. Cboe data shows a significant upward shift in the VIX futures term structure, with September contracts around 17.4, October rising to 19, and November further increasing to 19.7. Historical data indicates that midterm election years often accompany higher stock market volatility. Since 1945, the actual volatility in midterm election years has been above the previous year 80% of the time, with an average increase of 3.5 percentage points; the average return of the S&P 500 in midterm election years is only about 4%. This year's unique risk lies in the AI investment boom. As internal dissent over massive capital expenditures on AI infrastructure begins to surface within both parties, the election results may not only affect the congressional landscape but could also directly impact the hottest AI investment themes in the current U.S. stock market. Cboe has launched daily options on the S&P 500 that expire on election day and the following day, with current market implied pricing showing that the expected one-day volatility for the S&P 500 on November 4, the day after the election, is about 1.4%. Notably, the VIX closed at 15.8 on Monday, still significantly below the long-term average of 19.4, indicating that current market volatility and hedging costs remain low. Analysts believe that the market is pricing in election risks in advance, but the real risks may not yet be fully reflected in asset prices.
