The VIX index, which measures the implied volatility of S&P 500 index options, increases when market uncertainty takes over and decreases as fear subsides. VIX has been trading near 39 over the last few days.
ReplyDeleteJim Strugger from MKM Partners suggested to clients that 40 figures for the VIX will be the norm over the next couple of months, according to Barron’s.
