  • Volatility Index Dips Amid Market Calm: VIX Stands at 17.36 as of February 9, 2026

    Volatility Index Dips Amid Market Calm: VIX Stands at 17.36 as of February 9, 2026
    Feb 10 2026
    The Cboe Volatility Index, known as the VIX, currently stands at a spot price of 17.36 as of February 9, 2026, according to Cboe Global Markets data. This reflects a percent change of -2.25%, or down 0.40 points, from the prior close.

    Investing.com historical data shows the VIX closed at 17.76 on February 6, 2026, after ranging from a low of 17.27 to a high of 21.49 that day, following a sharper drop from 21.77 on February 5. The St. Louis Fed's VIXCLS series confirms the February 6 close at 17.76, with earlier sessions at 18.64 on February 4 and 18.00 on February 3, indicating a recent downtrend from mid-20s peaks earlier in the month.

    This decline aligns with broader market calming after heightened uncertainty. Cboe reports note implied volatilities easing post-Fed meeting, despite equity gains, as SPX fixed-strike vols adjusted with spot prices in a "spot up, vol up" pattern last week. Barchart technicals for VIX futures reveal a 5-day moving average of 19.2050 with a -2.42% price change, and a strong 9-day Directional Index of 52.34 favoring negative direction, signaling bearish momentum. Recent Cboe insights highlight volatility widening between tech and small caps amid sector rotation, with precious metals skew flipping to puts on downside gold risks.

    Over the past sessions per Investing.com, the VIX swung wildly: +21.89% on one day, then -14.03%, showing choppy trends before settling lower. FRED data points to next release on February 10, potentially influencing intraday moves. Overall, receding macro fears like Fed uncertainty and economic cooling signals are driving the pullback, though futures like February 2026 VIX at 22.55 suggest elevated expectations ahead.

  • Volatility Index Drops Amid Stabilizing Oil Markets: Insights into the VIX's Latest Movements

    Volatility Index Drops Amid Stabilizing Oil Markets: Insights into the VIX's Latest Movements
    Feb 7 2026
    The Cboe Volatility Index, known as the VIX, stands at a spot price of 17.76 as of February 6, 2026, according to Cboe Global Markets data. This reflects an 18.42 percent decline, or a drop of 4.01 points since the previous close.

    The VIX, often called the fear gauge, measures expected near-term volatility in the S&P 500 based on option prices. Cboe reports this sharp drop follows a volatile week, with the index closing at 21.77 on February 5 per Investing.com and FRED St. Louis Fed data, up from 18.64 on February 4 and 18.00 on February 3. Earlier, it hit 16.34 on February 2, showing a quick spike and reversal.

    Underlying factors include stabilizing oil markets after US strikes, as noted by Cboe, where WTI 1-month implied volatility eased from 68 percent to 51 percent amid reduced fears of supply disruptions from Iran. Unlike the 2022 Russia-Ukraine crisis, US inflation expectations held steady despite oil jumps. The VIXs mean-reverting nature also plays in, trending back toward long-term averages after spikes, with its inverse tie to S&P 500 gains likely aiding the decline as equities steadied.

    Trends show a 52-week range of 13.38 low to 60.13 high per Cboe, with recent sessions fluctuating: percent changes like +4.35 percent, -1.63 percent, and -9.35 percent in prior days from Investing.com. VIX futures settled around 20.85 for February dates, hinting at lingering caution, while expected moves for February 11 options are plus or minus 2.27 or 12.2 percent per OptionCharts.

    This pullback signals easing investor anxiety, though volatility products remain key for hedging amid geopolitical risks.

  • Moderate Volatility Persists in VIX, Tracking S&P 500 Trends and Oil Market Stability

    Moderate Volatility Persists in VIX, Tracking S&P 500 Trends and Oil Market Stability
    Jan 29 2026
    The Cboe Volatility Index, known as the VIX, stands at a spot price of 16.85 as of January 28, 2026, according to Cboe Global Markets data. This reflects a percent change of 3.06 percent, up 0.50 points from the prior close.

    Cboe reports this VIX spot price at 9:15 PM on January 28, marking an increase amid stable oil markets following recent US strikes, with WTI one-month implied volatility easing from 68 percent to 51 percent as supply disruption fears subside. The VIX, a key barometer of 30-day expected volatility from S&P 500 options, shows mean-reversion tendencies, trending toward long-term averages over time, per Cboe analysis.

    Recent trends indicate moderate volatility. FRED St. Louis Fed data lists the January 27 close at 16.35, up from 16.15 on January 26 and 16.09 on January 23, but below the 52-week high of 60.13 and above the low of 13.38, as noted by Cboe. Earlier in January, Investing.com historical data shows fluctuations, with January 2 at around 14.85 open and values dipping to 14.20 on December 29, 2025, before climbing, suggesting investor sentiment stabilizing after year-end dips.

    Underlying factors include the VIXs inverse relationship with the S&P 500, where rising stock prices often suppress volatility, and options pricing implying slight premiums over realized volatility, enabling arbitrage strategies. Cboe highlights reduced oil shock impacts on US inflation expectations compared to past events like 2022, contributing to this uptick without broader panic.

    Market participants use VIX futures and options for hedging equity declines or betting on volatility shifts, with recent data showing calm despite geopolitical tensions.
