VIX
Topic
The VIX is the ticker symbol and popular name for the Chicago Board Options Exchange's CBOE Volatility Index, which measures the stock market's expectation of 30-day volatility based on S&P 500 index options. Calculated and disseminated in real-time, it is widely referred to as the "fear index" or "fear gauge" because it reflects investor sentiment and market risk.
