VIX Volatility Index Daily Report
The CBOE Volatility Index, commonly known as the VIX, is currently trading at 17.19, down 7.38 percent from the previous market day when it closed at 18.56. This decline reflects a pullback in market uncertainty and fear following a period of elevated volatility earlier in the week.
Over the past week, the VIX experienced significant swings. The index peaked at 26.42 on November 20th before gradually declining through the subsequent trading sessions. This recent volatility spike appears connected to anticipated economic data releases and broader market concerns that have since settled. The index is currently up 21.91 percent compared to one year ago, when it stood at 14.10, suggesting sustained elevated uncertainty relative to historical baselines.
The VIX measures implied expected volatility in the U.S. stock market by analyzing options contracts on the S&P 500. It serves as a barometer for investor fear and market uncertainty, with higher readings indicating greater anxiety and lower readings suggesting calmer conditions. The inverse relationship between the VIX and stock market performance means the recent decline in the volatility index aligns with steadier equity markets.
Looking at the underlying factors, the recent volatility spike was driven by anticipated economic announcements and labor market data. As these key reports have been released and digested by markets, the fear gauge has retreated from its recent highs. The current level of 17.19 suggests markets have found some stability, though it remains elevated compared to recent lows seen in late September and early October.
Current market technicals show the VIX consolidating after its recent spike, with traders reassessing risk and positioning for year-end trading. The moderate decline from yesterday indicates buying confidence has returned following the week's turbulent sessions.
