VIX:
The VIX (also know as The Volatility Index) measures the implied expected volatility of the US stock market. This index is calculated using futures contracts on the S&P 500. VIX is used as a barometer for how fearful and uncertain the markets are. The VIX tends to increase when the market decreases and vice versa. During the financial crisis in 2008-2009, the VIX reached as high as 80.86.
VIX is at a current level of 13.95, a decrease of 0.49 or 3.39% from the previous market day. This is an increase of 1.16 or 9.07% from last year and is lower than the long term average of 18.30.
