À propos de cet audio

The Cboe Volatility Index, known as the VIX, is currently at 23.66 as of the latest market close on November 19, 2025. This represents a decrease of 4.17 percent from the previous day's close of 24.69. The VIX, which is calculated using S&P 500 index options, serves as a key measure of market expectations for volatility over the near term. A higher VIX value typically signals increased uncertainty or fear among investors, while a lower value suggests more stable and confident market conditions.

The recent drop in the VIX comes amid a broader trend of easing market anxiety. Over the past week, the index has fluctuated, moving from a low of 17.28 on November 11 to a high of 25.31 on October 16. The decline over the last day aligns with a period of relative calm in the broader stock market, as the S&P 500 has shown modest gains and less dramatic swings. The S&P 500 itself is trading at 6715.35, with a 1-year return of 19.89 percent, reflecting a generally positive outlook for equities.

Several factors have contributed to the recent movement in the VIX. Economic data released this week, including consumer confidence and inflation expectations, have been largely in line with forecasts, helping to stabilize investor sentiment. Additionally, the absence of major geopolitical events or unexpected corporate news has allowed volatility to subside. The VIX put/call ratio, which measures the balance between bearish and bullish options activity, stands at 0.76, indicating that investors are not currently placing a heavy emphasis on downside protection.

Looking at the longer-term trend, the VIX is up 44.71 percent compared to its level of 16.35 one year ago. This increase reflects the heightened volatility that has characterized markets over the past year, driven by concerns about inflation, interest rate policy, and global economic growth. However, the recent pullback suggests that some of these concerns may be abating, at least in the short term.
