  • Resumen

  • As of August 22, 2024, the Cboe Volatility Index (VIX) is trading at 13.45, experiencing a percent change of -1.45% from its last reported value. This slight decline signifies a decrease in the market's expectation of future volatility over the coming 30 days.

    Commonly known as the "Fear Index," the VIX measures the market's expectations for the near-term price volatility of the S&P 500 Index (SPX). It is calculated based on the prices of SPX index options with near-term expiration dates, providing a forward-looking projection of volatility over the next month.

    The recent dip in the VIX is attributed to a rebound in global equities, indicating lower market volatility. This trend mirrors observations from May 2024, when the VIX returned to the 12-14 range after nearing 20 in the previous month. The current VIX level of 13.45 suggests a relatively stable market sentiment.

    The VIX is a critical tool for investors to gauge the level of risk, fear, or stress in the market. A higher VIX level generally reflects greater uncertainty and fear, while a lower VIX indicates a more stable market environment. The current level points to a market that is perceived as relatively stable by investors.

    In addition to the standard VIX, Cboe Global Markets offers several other indices for measuring broad market volatility, including the CBOE Short-Term Volatility Index (VIX9D), the CBOE S&P 500 3-Month Volatility Index (VIX3M), and the CBOE S&P 500 6-Month Volatility Index (VIX6M). These indices provide investors with various timeframes to assess market volatility and make informed investment decisions.

    Investors can trade the VIX through futures contracts, exchange-traded funds (ETFs), and exchange-traded notes (ETNs) that own these futures contracts. The VIX significantly influences option prices or premiums; higher VIX levels result in more expensive option premiums, while lower VIX levels lead to cheaper premiums.

    For those interested in historical data, Cboe offers daily closing values of the VIX Index along with data for other volatility indices and VIX futures. This information is invaluable for investors seeking to understand market trends and assess potential risks.

    The current decline in the VIX suggests a more stable market environment. However, investors should continue to monitor the index for any
