À propos de cet audio

The Cboe Volatility Index, known as the VIX, currently stands at a spot price of 15.97 as of January 23, 2026, according to the Cboe website. This reflects a percent change of up 2.11 percent, or 0.33 points, since the last reported close.

The VIX, often called the fear gauge, measures expected near-term volatility in the S&P 500 Index based on option prices. Cboe reports this latest spot price from trade data as of 9:15 PM on January 23, marking a modest uptick amid stable oil markets following recent US strikes, with WTI implied volatility easing from 68 percent to 51 percent as supply disruption fears fade. Unlike the 2022 Russia-Ukraine crisis, US inflation expectations have held steady despite oil price jumps, per Cboe analysis.

Historical data from Investing.com shows the VIX closed at 16.09 on January 23 after trading between 15.68 and 16.09, down from 15.64 on January 22 but up from earlier in the week amid swings—20.09 on January 20 amid higher volatility, then easing. The CBOE site notes a 52-week range of 13.38 low to 60.13 high, with the index exhibiting mean-reversion toward long-term averages, a key trait driving futures shapes.

Recent trends indicate declining overall volatility after peaks, tied to steady equities and abating geopolitical risks, though VIX futures like the January 28 expiry hover higher around 22-23 levels on Cboe Futures Exchange. Equity portfolios often use VIX products to hedge S&P 500 drops, given its inverse relationship, and implied volatility has edged up modestly on economic data anticipation.
