The CBOE Volatility Index (VIX), commonly known as the “fear gauge,” measures market expectations of volatility over the next 30 days based on S&P 500 options.
As of March 5, 2025, the VIX stands at 21.93, reflecting a 6.72% decline from the previous trading day but a 51.66% increase compared to one year ago. This value offers key insights into investor sentiment and broader market conditions.
At 21.93, the VIX indicates that while markets are not in panic mode, investors remain cautious compared to last year.
The balance between declining short-term volatility and persistent macroeconomic concerns suggests that many will continue adjusting strategies—seeking opportunities in less volatile sectors while implementing risk mitigation measures.
