Futures are jittery but not panicked. MOVE index at 85th %ile says rates vol is the real stress point.

Oil vol is only 63rd %ile. That feels low given WTI is flirting with $117. Kalshi gives it an 8.5% chance by November. Market is too chill there. Nasdaq vol at 65th %ile. Meh. But the Kalshi contract for year-end 32,000–32,500 is priced at 4%. That’s a very specific, very low-probability window. Someone’s fading a melt-up. Heating oil at the 97th %ile. Silver at the 9th. That spread is screaming demand destruction vs. industrial slowdown. Not sure people appreciate how bearish that combo is for reflation trades. Long bonds getting obliterated. Ultra T-Bond and 30-year futures at the 0th %ile. Historic drawdown. The issue is this is happening while equity vol is only cautious. One of these is wrong. Watch the bond carnage. If MOVE stays elevated and long bonds don’t bounce, the stress bleeds into everything else. Good signal for risk-off, bad signal for the soft landing crowd.
