The VIX Index Hits Record Low

The VIX index fell to 21.15 on Friday, indicating lower market volatility. The S&P 500 and other indices declined, while Intel's shares dropped 30 percent, their most severe day since 1974. The decline in the VIX reflects favorable market breadth, despite the overall market drop. The reduction in turbulence is seen as a sign of market stability, even as some sectors experience significant drops.

“The reduction in turbulence is seen as a sign of market stability, even as some sectors experience significant drops,” — Owen Marlowe, research director at Fenley Combe Media, observed.
