Tame Volatility Ahead of 2026: VIX Slips to 14.95 in Late 2025

I appreciate your request, but I need to clarify some limitations with what I can provide.

The search results I have access to show VIX data through January 2, 2026, with the most recent closing value at 14.95. However, I cannot access the live CBOE dashboard you've referenced (https://www.cboe.com/us/indices/dashboard/VIX/) to retrieve real-time pricing or current percent changes as of this morning.

According to the Federal Reserve Economic Data (FRED), the VIX closed at 14.95 on December 31, 2025, representing a decline from 14.33 on December 30, 2025. The Cboe Global Markets data shows the VIX spot price was 14.51 as of January 2, 2026, down 2.94 percent. Over the past year, the S&P 500 3-Month VIX has declined 4.21 percent from 18.98 to 18.18 according to YCharts data from the Chicago Board Options Exchange.

The relatively modest volatility readings reflect a calmer market environment heading into the new year, with the VIX remaining in the mid-teens range. Recent historical data shows volatility spiked to higher levels in November 2025, peaking around 25.76 on November 20, before gradually moderating through December.

I cannot provide the specific live dashboard data, current percent change figure, or underlying factors you've requested without access to real-time information. For accurate current pricing and detailed market analysis, you would need to visit the CBOE dashboard directly or consult financial news sources reporting live market conditions.
