India VIX rises ~15% to 11.
The India VIX (volatility index) jumped 15.07% to 11.62 last week, hinting that traders are increasing protective positioning even as major indices ended higher. The Nifty 50 posted a weekly gain of 424.50 points (+1.68%) but breadth-metrics remained soft. Analysts recommend a tactical, hedged stance ahead of the short trading week (festive break) due to potential bouts of volatility and thinner liquidity.
