  • VIX Drops to 21.15 as Market Volatility Contracts Amid Equity Calm

    VIX Drops to 21.15 as Market Volatility Contracts Amid Equity Calm
    Mar 5 2026
    The Cboe Volatility Index, known as the VIX, stands at 21.15 today, reflecting a sharp percent change of -10.27 percent or down 2.42 points from yesterday's close. KlickAnalytics reports this as the latest daily value for March 4, 2026, marking a significant drop amid recent market calm.

    This decline follows a previous session on February 6, 2026, when the VIX hit 17.76 with an even steeper fall of -18.42 percent or -4.01 points, showing a pattern of volatility contraction. TradingView analysis of VIX futures for March 2026 pegs the current level near 21.80, approaching a key 2.618 Fibonacci extension zone around 24-25, where historical patterns suggest initial rejection, multiple tests, and a 10-15 percent pullback after touching Fibonacci circle rings.

    Underlying factors for the percent change include reduced market stress, as the VIX—often called the fear gauge—drops when S&P 500 options imply lower expected 30-day volatility. Recent trends show the VIX averaging 17.60 on closes, with a high of 52.33 on April 8, 2025, and a low of 11.86 last year, per KlickAnalytics historical stats. The current setup points to consolidation near ring boundaries before potential spikes, with TradingView forecasting pullbacks in early to late June at higher extensions like 27-28 and 30-plus zones, driven by volume spikes and time-based resistance.

    Cboe data confirms the VIX measures U.S. equity volatility from SPX options, updated daily, underscoring today's lower reading as a sign of steady equities.

  • VIX Surges 11.7% to 23.95 Amid Iran Conflict Fears and Stock Market Volatility Concerns

    VIX Surges 11.7% to 23.95 Amid Iran Conflict Fears and Stock Market Volatility Concerns
    Mar 3 2026
    The Cboe Volatility Index, known as the VIX, stands at a current spot price of 23.95 as of 4:33 PM on March 3, 2026, according to Cboe Global Markets data. This reflects an 11.71 percent increase, or 2.51 points, from the previous close.

    The VIX, often called the fear gauge, measures expected near-term volatility in the S&P 500 based on option prices. Todays surge follows a close of 21.44 on March 2, per FRED St. Louis Fed and Investing.com historical data, with the index hitting an intraday high of 27.30 amid US stock market crash fears. The Economic Times reports this peak as the highest in three months, driven by escalating Iran conflict tensions after US strikes, sparking worries over Dow, S&P 500, and Nasdaq declines.

    Percent change details show a 19.82 percent daily jump to 25.69 late in the session on Investing.com, though the official Cboe spot settled lower at 23.95. Over the past month, VIX futures rose 13.06 percent from 18.77, per Barchart, with a three-month gain of 5.69 percent, indicating rising uncertainty. Oil markets stayed stable post-strikes as investors await Irans response, with WTI volatility easing from 68 percent to 51 percent, notes Cboe, unlike sharp inflation spikes in 2022.

    Trends point to mean-reversion, where VIX levels typically trend toward long-term averages after spikes, offering trading opportunities in futures and options. The 52-week range spans 13.38 low to 60.13 high, underscoring its sensitivity to geopolitical risks.

  • VIX Rises to 19.86 Amid Geopolitical Tensions and Investor Caution in February 2026

    VIX Rises to 19.86 Amid Geopolitical Tensions and Investor Caution in February 2026
    Feb 28 2026
    The Cboe Volatility Index, known as the VIX, stands at a current spot price of 19.86 as of February 27, 2026, according to the Cboe website. This reflects a percent change of plus 6.60 percent, or an increase of 1.23 points from the prior close.

    The VIX, often called the fear gauge, measures expected near-term volatility in the S&P 500 based on option prices. Cboe reports this uptick amid stable oil markets following recent US strikes, with WTI one-month implied volatility easing from 68 percent to 51 percent as supply disruption fears fade. US inflation expectations have held steady, unlike during the 2022 Russia-Ukraine crisis, per Cboe's market overview.

    Historical data from Investing.com shows volatility around this level recently: on February 2, 2026, the VIX hit 19.95, up sharply from 16.34, while late January values hovered in the mid-teens like 16.09 on January 28. Over the past year, the VIX ranged from a low of 13.38 to a high of 60.13, indicating mean-reversion toward long-term averages, a key trait noted by Cboe.

    This rise suggests growing investor caution, potentially tied to geopolitical tensions and options market activity. Cboe highlights the VIX's inverse link to the S&P 500, where higher readings often signal hedging against equity drops. Recent options volume on VIX futures and strikes like 25.00 show active trading, with platforms like LiveVol tracking heightened interest.

    Trends point to short-term spikes but reversion over time, offering opportunities in volatility arbitrage as implied volatility premiums exceed realized levels.

  • VIX Falls to 17.93 as Market Volatility Stabilizes Amid Oil Price Calm and Equity Recovery

    VIX Falls to 17.93 as Market Volatility Stabilizes Amid Oil Price Calm and Equity Recovery
    Feb 26 2026
    The Cboe Volatility Index, known as the VIX, currently stands at a spot price of 17.93 as reported by Cboe Global Markets on February 25, 2026, with a percent change of 0.00, or flat from the prior session. FRED data from the St. Louis Fed confirms the February 24 close at 19.55, down from 21.01 on February 23, reflecting a recent decline of about 7 percent day-over-day amid stabilizing equity markets.

    This pullback follows a volatile period, with the VIX dipping from highs near 21 earlier in the week to the 17-19 range, per FRED and CBOE updates. TradingView analysis notes the VIX pulled back from 41.50 to hold at 24.50 before trading near 27, forming higher lows that signal persistent market caution rather than receding fear. A breakout above 27 could target 34 to 36.60, driven by systemic fragility as rising VIX coincides with falling yields and equities, per trader insights on TradingView.

    Underlying factors include oil market stability after U.S. strikes, with WTI implied volatility easing from 68 percent to 51 percent as supply disruption fears fade, according to Cboe commentary. This contrasts with 2022's inflation spikes, keeping U.S. inflation expectations steady. The VIX's inverse relationship with the S&P 500 supports its role as a hedge, with mean-reversion tendencies pulling it toward long-term averages amid calmer sentiment.

    Over the past week, historical data from Investing.com shows swings from 14.57 to 21.90, with a notable 21.89 percent surge earlier, but recent sessions trended lower by 1 to 9 percent daily. The 52-week range spans 13.38 low to 60.13 high per CBOE, underscoring elevated but normalizing volatility expectations from S&P 500 options.

  • VIX Surges to 21.01 Amid Market Volatility Concerns and Economic Uncertainty in February 2026

    VIX Surges to 21.01 Amid Market Volatility Concerns and Economic Uncertainty in February 2026
    Feb 24 2026
    The Cboe Volatility Index, known as the VIX, currently stands at a spot price of 21.01 as of February 23, 2026, according to Cboe Global Markets data. This reflects a percent change of 10.06 percent, up 1.92 points from the prior close.

    The CBOE website reports this VIX spot price amid stable oil markets following recent US strikes, with WTI 1M implied volatility easing to 51 percent after peaking at 68 percent last week. Fears of oil supply disruptions have subsided, keeping US inflation expectations steady unlike during the 2022 Russia-Ukraine events. The VIX, a measure of expected near-term volatility in S&P 500 options, shows a 52-week range of 13.38 low to 60.13 high, highlighting its mean-reverting nature toward long-term averages.

    Recent historical data from Investing.com indicates volatility around the 17 to 20 range in early February, with closes like 20.82 on February 12 and 17.65 on February 11, suggesting an upward trend into late February. FRED St. Louis Fed data confirms closes of 19.09 on February 20, 20.23 on February 19, and 19.62 on February 18, pointing to elevated but fluctuating levels driven by equity market concerns, including stretched valuations and cooling US economy signals. Cboe notes implied volatilities rose modestly last week amid anticipation of key economic releases, with SPX options implying heightened moves.

    VIX futures, per Cboe Futures Exchange, trade higher in near terms, with the front month at 23.52 down 1.02, reflecting market bets on sustained volatility. This inverse relationship to the S&P 500 underscores hedging demand as stocks face downside risks.

  • VIX Holds Steady at 19.09 Amid Market Stability and Cooling Economic Concerns in February 2026

    VIX Holds Steady at 19.09 Amid Market Stability and Cooling Economic Concerns in February 2026
    Feb 21 2026
    The Cboe Volatility Index, known as the VIX, stands at a current spot price of 19.09 as of February 20, 2026, according to the Cboe Global Markets website. This reflects a percent change of 0.00 percent from the prior session, showing stability in implied volatility for the S&P 500 Index.

    The VIX, often called the fear gauge, measures expected market turbulence over the next 30 days based on S&P 500 option prices. Cboe reports this level amid recent fluctuations: FRED data from the St. Louis Fed shows the VIX closed at 20.23 on February 19, down from 19.62 on February 18 and a peak of 21.20 on February 16. Investing.com historical data notes earlier readings like 17.79 on February 10 and 21.77 on February 5, indicating a volatile period with swings from 14.49 to 21.90 in recent weeks.

    Underlying factors for the flat change include steady equity markets and cooling economic concerns, per Cboe's volatility updates. Implied volatilities rose modestly last week on anticipation of economic data, but equity vols stabilized post-Fed meeting despite some uncertainty from Powell's comments. Broader trends show a decline from mid-February highs around 21-22, as seen in Perplexity Finance and FRED series, signaling reduced fear after a retracement from S&P 500 record highs due to valuation worries. VIX futures on Cboe Futures Exchange trade higher, with near-term contracts at 23.52 down 1.02, pointing to expected rises in volatility ahead, alongside shifts in tech vs. small-cap volatility and precious metals sentiment.

    This stability suggests markets are pricing in balanced risks, though weekly expirations and upcoming data could spark moves.

  • VIX Drops 1.1% on Choppy Stock Market Session: Analyzing Volatility Trends

    VIX Drops 1.1% on Choppy Stock Market Session: Analyzing Volatility Trends
    Feb 17 2026
    The Cboe Volatility Index, known as the VIX or fear gauge, stands at a current sale price of 20.60, reflecting a percent change of down 1.1 percent or minus 0.22 points from the prior close. This data comes directly from the Cboe website dashboard as of February 13, 2026, and is corroborated by Zacks Investment Research and Nasdaq market news for February 17, 2026.

    The decline occurred on Friday amid a choppy stock market session where the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 0.1 percent to 49,500.93 after swinging from a 292-point gain to a 367-point loss intraday. Sector performances were mixed, with Technology Select Sector SPDR down 2.6 percent, Financials Select Sector SPDR down 2 percent, Energy Select Sector SPDR down 1.8 percent, and Communication Services Select Sector SPDR down 1.8 percent, while Utilities Select Sector SPDR rose 1.5 percent. Trading volume totaled 18.61 billion shares, below the 20-session average of 20.75 billion. Advancers led decliners on the NYSE by a 2.57-to-1 ratio, but decliners edged out on Nasdaq by 1.92-to-1.

    Underlying factors for the VIX drop include lower overall market fear despite tech and financial sector weakness, as more stocks advanced than declined on the NYSE. Recent historical data from FRED at St. Louis Fed shows the VIX closed at 20.82 on February 12, up from 17.65 on February 11 and 17.79 on February 10, indicating a sharp intraday spike earlier in the week before settling lower. Investing.com historical rates confirm volatility around mid-February, with levels hovering between 17 and 21 amid broader equity retracements from record highs due to valuation concerns and cooling economic signals.

    Trends point to stabilizing volatility after a weekly uptick, with Cboe VIX futures showing nearby contracts like February 2026 at a last price of 22.55, down 0.24, suggesting markets anticipate moderate ongoing swings tied to economic data releases. The VIX remains above its long-term average of around 20, signaling persistent but easing investor caution.

  • Volatility Surge: VIX Spike Signals Market Uncertainty Ahead

    Volatility Surge: VIX Spike Signals Market Uncertainty Ahead
    Feb 14 2026
    The Cboe Volatility Index, known as the VIX, stands at a current sale price of 20.60 as of the latest close on February 13, 2026, according to Investing.com data. This reflects a percent change of down 1.06 percent from the previous session's close of 20.82 on February 12.

    The St. Louis Fed's ALFRED database confirms the February 12 close at 20.82, up sharply from 17.65 on February 11, signaling a 18 percent daily surge that day amid rising market uncertainty. Perplexity Finance and FX Empire data align closely, showing intraday highs near 22.40 on February 13 before the pullback.

    This recent volatility spike traces to underlying factors like heightened investor fears over S&P 500 options pricing, as the VIX measures 30-day implied volatility from SPX puts and calls, per Cboe Global Markets' methodology. The jump from 17.65 on February 11 through 20.82 on February 12 suggests reactions to economic data releases or geopolitical tensions, with a modest retreat on February 13 indicating some stabilization. Trends show the VIX hovering in the 15 to 21 range over the past two weeks, per Investing.com historicals, well above the 12 to 15 calm levels but below panic thresholds over 30. Recent patterns include a 21.89 percent pop earlier in February from 16.72, followed by choppy trading, pointing to persistent but contained equity market jitters.
