Bets for volatility in the oil and equity markets are diverging like never before. The CBOE/NYMEX WTI Volatility Index and VIX moved in opposite directions for a 14th week this year, or about 54 percent of the time, the most on record. Gone are the days when crude affected share prices, with the 60-day correlation between the commodity and the S&P 500 Index falling to zero, down from 0.75 when energy companies accounted for almost double their current weighting in the stock gauge in 2012.
