À propos de cet audio

The Cboe Volatility Index, known as the VIX, stands at a current spot price of 19.01 as of April 20, 2026, according to the Cboe Global Markets website. This marks an 8.75 percent increase, or 1.53 points, from the previous close of 17.48, with the open at 19.58.

Cboe reports this uptick reflects heightened market expectations of near-term volatility based on S&P 500 Index option prices. The VIX, introduced in 1993, serves as the worlds premier barometer of investor sentiment, measuring 30-day implied volatility. A higher VIX signals broader anticipated swings in the S&P 500, where at levels around 19, the index could move roughly 5.5 percent up or down in the next month, per S&P Dow Jones Indices methodology.

Underlying factors for the percent change include recent market jitters, as the VIX jumped from 17.48 on April 17 per FRED data from the St. Louis Fed. Business Insider notes a 7.95 percent daily gain to 18.87, with an intraday high of 19.99, amid a 22.20 percent rise over 30 days and 80.57 percent over 90 days. Fidelity shows trading around 19.14 after opening at 19.58, while TradingView indicates an 11.73 percent 24-hour surge to 18.86. These align with CBoe noting VIX futures at 23.52, down slightly but pointing to sustained uncertainty.

Trends show the VIX within its 52-week range of 13.38 low to 35.75 high, per Cboe, far from panic levels like last Aprils 31 percent peak. Yet the sharp rebound from recent lows suggests investors brace for S&P 500 turbulence, possibly from economic data or earnings. Volatility remains elevated versus historical norms, with Investing.com confirming real-time quotes near 18.87.
