mostra más**How the VIX Index is Calculated**
The VIX Index derives its value from the real-time prices of S&P 500 Index options, leveraging the midpoint of bid and ask spreads. These options reflect collective market anticipations of future price movements, providing a continuous gauge of expected near-term volatility.
**Understanding VIX Values**
The VIX Index value, often referred to as the "sale price," indicates the market's expectation of 30-day volatility. Interpreting this value requires an understanding of the numerical thresholds:
- **High VIX Values**: Typically signal increased market uncertainty or stress. Values exceeding 20 are generally associated with heightened volatility, potentially reflective of economic reports, geopolitical concerns, or corporate earnings surprises.
- **Low VIX Values**: Suggest relative market calm and lower expected volatility. Values below 15 are often indicative of stable economic conditions and positive investor sentiment.

- **Negative Percent Change**: A decrease in the VIX may imply a reduction in market anxiety, often driven by favorable economic indicators, geopolitical stability, or positive corporate earnings reports.
**Factors Affecting Percent Change**

- **Earnings Reports**: Corporate earnings that deviate significantly from market expectations can also impact the VIX.
