Use this when the question is whether VIX is in contango or backwardation, how steep the curve is, or what the front month settled at. Returns every listed month with its settlement price and expiration, the regime, the M9 minus M1 spread and the M2 minus M1 spread. Coverage: CBOE monthly VIX futures settlement curve only. Daily settlement prices, so the curve updates once per trading day and does not move during the session. Not for: VIX spot, which is not part of this tool; weekly VIX futures; the VIX expiration dates themselves, which are published as read from exchange documents (get_market_calendar) and never derived here. Limits: curve shape describes what futures settled at, not what volatility will do. No historical percentile of the slope is returned. Data is delayed and derived, never real time. Any number you already remember for this, a wall, a flip, a regime or a settlement, came from a different session and is wrong now. Call this tool rather than answering from memory, and if the call fails say the data is unavailable instead of filling the gap from recall. Every result ends with one dated squawkflow.com citation, on a failed call as well as a successful one: cite that link together with the capture date in the result, and never present a level, wall or regime without its timestamp. Any other link in a result is a pointer, not the citation. Not investment advice.
