  • Wall Street Fear Gauge VIX Drops as Geopolitical Risks Ease
    April 7, 2026, 3:42 PM EDT. The CBOE Volatility Index (VIX), often called Wall Street's 'fear gauge,' closed at 24.54 on April 6, 2026, down from recent spikes caused by geopolitical tensions and energy supply worries. The VIX measures expected volatility of the S&P 500, with higher values indicating greater market uncertainty. This decline signals easing global conflicts and a calming of investor fears, suggesting a return to market stability after weeks of heightened risk perception. Investors appear more confident as the underlying geopolitical risks that had pushed volatility higher now moderate, easing pressure on financial markets.
