  • VIX Volatility Index At 19.52: Market Calm Emerges As Oil Tensions Ease And Stock Options Stabilize

    VIX Volatility Index At 19.52: Market Calm Emerges As Oil Tensions Ease And Stock Options Stabilize
    Apr 14 2026
    The Cboe Volatility Index, known as the VIX, stands at a current spot price of 19.52 as of April 13, 2026, according to the Cboe Global Markets website. This reflects a change of 1.51 percent, or 0.29 points, from the previous close of 19.23.

    The Cboe site reports the VIX opened at 21.17 that day, with a 52-week range from a low of 13.38 to a high of 35.75. This uptick follows recent market turbulence, as the index had closed at 19.23 on April 10 per FRED data from the St. Louis Fed, down from 19.49 on April 9 and higher levels earlier in the week like 25.78 on April 7.

    Underlying factors for the percent change include heightened downside risks in the S&P 500, with SPX skew in the 99th percentile, signaling strong demand for protective options. Cboe notes stability in oil markets after US strikes over the weekend, as investors await Iran's response. WTI one-month implied volatility peaked at 68 percent last week but eased to 51 percent, with the implied-realized vol spread narrowing from 30 points to 14, reducing fears of major oil supply disruptions.

    The VIX, a gauge of 30-day implied volatility from SPX options, remains negatively correlated with stock performance, per S&P Dow Jones Indices. When markets calm, it tends to fall; turbulence pushes it higher. Recent technicals from Barchart show the VIX above its 100-day moving average of 19.59 but below the 50-day at 22.51, with short-term stochastics indicating oversold conditions.

    YCharts and TradingView peg intraday levels around 19.12, down slightly from 19.23, aligning with pre-market calm on April 14. Fidelity reports a trading level near 19.16, underscoring minor daily fluctuations amid broader de-escalation in volatility fears.

  • VIX Drops to 19.83 as Market Volatility Eases, Down 42% Year-Over-Year

    VIX Drops to 19.83 as Market Volatility Eases, Down 42% Year-Over-Year
    Apr 11 2026
    I appreciate your request, but I need to clarify an important limitation: I cannot access external URLs or browse websites, including the CBOE dashboard link you provided. I can only work with the search results already provided to me.

    Based on the search results available, here's what I can report:

    According to Cboe Global Markets, the VIX spot price as of April 10, 2026 was 19.83, up 1.74 percent or 0.34 points from the previous close of 19.49. The FRED database from the St. Louis Federal Reserve confirms the April 9 closing level at 19.49, with April 8 showing 21.04, representing a significant decline of 7.37 percent from that prior market day.

    The recent trend shows volatility has decreased substantially compared to one year ago. According to YCharts, the VIX is down 42.03 percent from one year ago when it was at 33.62. Over the past week, the index has shown some fluctuation, with levels reaching 25.78 on April 7 before moderating to the current levels.

    S&P Dow Jones Indices notes that implied volatility typically increases when markets are turbulent or the economy falters, while declining when stock prices are rising and no dramatic changes appear probable. The current modest VIX levels around 19.83 suggest relatively calm market conditions with investors expecting a narrow trading range for the S&P 500 over the next 30 days.

    Regarding underlying factors, the search results indicate that oil market volatility contributed to recent sentiment, with WTI one-month implied volatility having surged to 68 percent before moderating to 51 percent as fears of significant supply disruption abated.

  • VIX Drops 17.96% to 21.15 as Market Volatility Cools and Stock Prices Stabilize in April 2026

    VIX Drops 17.96% to 21.15 as Market Volatility Cools and Stock Prices Stabilize in April 2026
    Apr 9 2026
    The Cboe Volatility Index, known as the VIX, stands at a current spot price of 21.15 as of April 8, 2026, according to Cboe Global Markets trade data. This marks a sharp percent change of -17.96 percent, or down 4.63 points from the previous close of 25.78.

    Cboe reports the VIX opened at 20.97 on April 8, reflecting intense intraday swings after spiking to a 52-week high of 57.96 and pulling back from recent peaks. The CBOE website notes most active calls at the 22.00 strike expiring April 15, 2026, and puts at 19.00, signaling trader bets on continued volatility moderation.

    This steep drop stems from the VIX's inverse relationship with the S&P 500 Index, as explained by Cboe Global Markets. When stock prices rise amid calmer markets, expected near-term volatility conveyed by S&P 500 options falls, pushing the VIX lower. Business Insider data shows the VIX hit a daily high near 31.65 earlier in late March 2026 before plunging, with 30-day performance at -17.65 percent. Investing.com confirms a live price around 21.04 with an -18.39 percent change, aligning with Barchart's -18.39 percent reading.

    Trends indicate a broader cooldown after turbulent periods. FRED data pegs the April 7 close at 25.78, while over the past year, the VIX has eased -37.42 percent per Investing.com historicals. S&P Global notes high VIX levels signal broad equity ranges during turbulence, but today's decline suggests investor sentiment stabilizing as stocks rebound. Cboe highlights the VIX's higher volatility versus the S&P 500, with rapid swings creating trading opportunities.

  • VIX Jumps to 24.18 Amid Geopolitical Tensions and Oil Market Volatility on April 6, 2026

    VIX Jumps to 24.18 Amid Geopolitical Tensions and Oil Market Volatility on April 6, 2026
    Apr 7 2026
    The Cboe Volatility Index, known as the VIX, currently stands at a spot price of 24.18 as of April 6, 2026, according to Cboe Global Markets trade data. This reflects a percent change of plus 1.30, or 0.31 points, from the previous close of 23.87.

    Cboe reports the VIX opened at 24.93 on April 6, within a 52-week range of 13.38 low to 60.13 high. The uptick aligns with heightened market expectations of near-term volatility in S&P 500 Index option prices, the VIXs core measure. Key underlying factors include SPX skew in the 99th percentile, signaling elevated downside risks. Cboe notes that following recent US strikes, oil markets stayed stable amid waits for Irans response. WTI 1M implied volatility hit 68 percent last week but closed at 51 percent, with the implied-realized vol spread narrowing from 30 to 14 points as oil supply disruption fears eased. Unlike the 2022 Russia-Ukraine invasion, US inflation expectations have held steady despite oil price jumps.

    Technical indicators from Barchart show short-term bearish momentum, with the 5-day moving average at 24.34 and a 21.04 percent price drop over that period, though longer-term trends like the 50-day average at 22.11 point to gains of 50.22 percent. Investing.com lists a live price near 24.17, consistent with CBoe data. YCharts and FRED confirm the prior close at 23.87 on April 2, with daily fluctuations noted.

    Overall, the VIXs modest rise suggests cautious optimism, with geopolitical tensions in oil markets driving implied volatility higher but not sparking panic selling.

  • VIX Drops to 23.87 as Market Volatility Eases Amid Reduced Risk Concerns

    VIX Drops to 23.87 as Market Volatility Eases Amid Reduced Risk Concerns
    Apr 4 2026
    The Cboe Volatility Index, known as the VIX, stands at a current spot price of 23.87 as of April 2, 2026, according to Cboe Global Markets trade data. This reflects a percent change of -2.73%, or down 0.67 points from the previous close of 24.54.

    Cboe reports the VIX opened at 26.78 that day, with a 52-week range from a low of 13.38 to a high of 60.13, positioning today's level toward the middle amid recent fluctuations. The decline follows a volatile period, as Federal Reserve Economic Data from St. Louis Fed shows the index at 24.54 on April 1, up from 25.25 on March 31 but down sharply from 30.61 on March 30 and 31.05 on March 27.

    Underlying factors for the drop include easing downside risks in equity markets. Cboe insights note the SPX skew in the 99th percentile has eased as fears subside, while WTI 1-month implied volatility fell from a peak of 68% last week to 51%, with the implied-realized vol spread halving from 30 points to 14 amid reduced oil supply disruption concerns.

    The VIX, a barometer of 30-day implied volatility from S&P 500 options, typically moves inversely to stocks—about 80% of the time per volatility trading analysis. At 23.87, it signals expected near-term swings of roughly 1.46% daily or 8% monthly in the S&P 500, with 68% confidence, per Cboe methodology. Over the past year, the index is down 47.32% according to Investing.com historical data, reflecting a broader calming trend after peaks.

    Investing.com confirms the live price at 23.87, aligning with Fidelity Investments quotes. VIX futures also trended lower, with near-term contracts like VX/X5 at 23.85 down 0.05, per Cboe Futures Exchange.

  • VIX Falls to 24.33 as Market Volatility Eases and Investor Confidence Rises

    VIX Falls to 24.33 as Market Volatility Eases and Investor Confidence Rises
    Apr 2 2026
    The Cboe Volatility Index, known as the VIX, stands at a current spot price of 24.33 as of April 1, 2026, according to Cboe Global Markets trade data. This reflects a percent change of -3.64%, or down 0.92 points from the previous close of 25.25.

    The CBOE website reports the VIX opened at 24.30 today, with a 52-week range from a low of 13.38 to a high of 60.13, indicating significant swings over the year. This decline aligns with calmer market sentiment, as the VIX measures expected near-term volatility in S&P 500 Index options over the next 30 days, often called the fear gauge. S&P Dow Jones Indices explains that VIX levels drop when stock prices rise steadily and no major disruptions loom, narrowing the anticipated trading range for the S&P 500.

    Underlying factors for the drop include reduced implied volatility, with Barchart noting current implied volatility at 112.91% and historical volatility at 149.85%. Business Insider data shows 30-day performance up 22.20% overall but with recent highs near 35.30 and lows at 20.28, suggesting a pullback from peaks around March 9, 2026. Fidelity Investments and Google Finance corroborate the previous close near 25.25 and intraday ranges like 23.50 to 25.35, pointing to easing turbulence after earlier spikes seen in FRED data up to 30.61 on March 30.

    Trends show the VIX negatively correlated with equity gains; Barchart links it to S&P 500 strength at 6,565.18 up 0.56%. Over three months, it's up 68.03% from December lows, per Barchart, but short-term cooling reflects investor confidence in steady markets ahead of April 15 options expiry, where strikes at 35.00 calls and 17.00 puts were most active on CBOE.

  • VIX Drops to 30.61 as Market Volatility Eases From Recent Spike Above 31

    VIX Drops to 30.61 as Market Volatility Eases From Recent Spike Above 31
    Mar 31 2026
    The Cboe Volatility Index, known as the VIX, stands at 30.61 as of market close on March 30, 2026, according to Optioncharts.io data. This reflects a percent change of -0.44 points, or -1.42 percent, from the prior session.

    FRED St. Louis Fed reports show the VIX closed at 31.05 on March 27, dropping to 27.44 on March 26, after 25.33 on March 25 and 26.95 on March 24. The recent uptrend from mid-March lows around 14 to 15 levels, per Investing.com historical data, spiked sharply last week amid market uncertainty, peaking near 31 before this slight pullback.

    Underlying factors for the percent change include heightened investor fears over S&P 500 volatility, as the VIX measures expected 30-day volatility via SPX options prices, per Cboe.com. The CBOE VIX3M dashboard notes related three-month volatility at around 28 on March 30, with a high of 28.92, signaling sustained but easing pressure from equity swings. Broader trends indicate a volatile March, with daily swings of 4 to 9 percent in recent sessions on Investing.com, driven by economic data and geopolitical tensions.

    This dip suggests calming markets post-spike, though levels above 20 remain elevated, historically flagging caution.

  • VIX Soars to 31.05 on March 27 Surge: Market Fear Gauge Jumps 13.16 Percent as Investor Anxiety Peaks

    VIX Soars to 31.05 on March 27 Surge: Market Fear Gauge Jumps 13.16 Percent as Investor Anxiety Peaks
    Mar 28 2026
    CBOE Volatility Index Hits 31.05 Amid Sharp Daily Surge. The Cboe Volatility Index, known as the VIX and often called the fear gauge for US equity markets, stands at a current sale price of 31.05 as of the March 27, 2026 close, according to Investing.com historical data. This marks a dramatic percent change of plus 13.16 percent from the prior days 27.44 level reported by the St. Louis Feds VIXCLS series on March 26.

    This spike reflects heightened investor anxiety, with the VIX calculated from weighted prices of S&P 500 put and call options across strike prices, per CBOE historical data descriptions. The jump from 27.44 on Friday underscores escalating expected volatility in US equities, potentially driven by market stress as the index breaks into the 30-plus extreme zone noted in TradingView Fibonacci analyses.

    Recent trends show volatility building: from 27.44 on March 26 to 31.05 on March 27, following a 26.49 open and high of 31.65. Earlier in March, VIX fluctuated wildly, dipping to 14.49 mid-month before climbing through 16s and 17s, with swings like a 21.89 percent gain to 20.38 and a 14.03 percent drop from 17.52. Investing.com data reveals a volatile uptrend, with March 27s 13.16 percent rise pushing past the 27-28 confluence resistance levels in TradingView forecasts, signaling potential for further whipsaws or pullbacks.

    Underlying factors include broader equity market jitters, as VIX rises inversely to S&P 500 confidence. The Cboe site emphasizes its role as the premier gauge of 30-day forward volatility, and this levels surge aligns with historical patterns of spikes during uncertainty. Futures data from Barchart notes ongoing trading in VIX contracts, with margins reflecting elevated risk.

    Analysts via TradingView highlight Fibonacci extension zones around 27-30 as reversal points, suggesting the current push to 31.05 could precede a 20-30 percent pullback if resistance holds, though momentum may carry it higher first.
