The Nasdaq 100’s Fear Gauge Just Spiked
The stock market’s fear gauge may be resting on a beach somewhere, but the Nasdaq 100’s just woke up.
The Cboe NASDAQ-100 Volatility Index swung from about 26.13 to 28.19 in the past hour or so. The measure of expected 30-day volatility in the Nasdaq 100 was on track to snap a three-day losing streak.
The CBOE Volatility Index, or VIX, also spiked, but it’s still at 16.72. A reading below 20 on the VIX typically signals lower volatility. Going back to 2021, the VIX has averaged a close of 19.35.
