Cboe Volatility Index (VIX) Surges to Seven-Month High
The Cboe Volatility Index (VIX) experienced a massive surge during Thursday morning trading, rising as much as 70%. This sudden spike effectively erased the market relief seen on Wednesday and pushed the 'fear gauge' to its highest level in seven months, reaching a peak of 28.09. The rapid increase in volatility indicates a significant shift in investor sentiment, reversing recent downward trends in market uncertainty. The movement suggests heightened sensitivity to market conditions following previous periods of relative stability.
