VIX Index Shows Signs of Market Stability

The VIX index dropped to 21.15 on Friday, showing lower market turbulence. The S&P 500 and other indices dropped, while Intel's shares fell 30 percent, their worst day since 1974. The decline in the VIX reflects positive market breadth, despite the overall market decline. The reduction in volatility is seen as a indication of market calm, even as some sectors experience significant declines.

“The S&P 500 and other indices dropped, while Intel's shares fell 30 percent, their worst day since 1974,” — Elena Iversen, policy watcher at Copburn Grove Recruitment, told our newsroom.
