  • Wall Street Fear Gauge Rises as Chip Stock Rally Ends with Nasdaq Sell-Off
    June 8, 2026, 5:56 PM EDT. The Cboe Volatility Index (VIX), Wall Street's key measure of market fear, surged sharply on Friday following a steep drop in semiconductor stocks. The VanEck Semiconductor ETF (SMH) fell nearly 10% at its low, ending a two-month rally that added about $500 billion to the Nasdaq 100. S&P 500 options trading hit a record 7.8 million contracts, underscoring heightened investor caution. Amid rising bond yields and bearish bets on corporate bonds and Treasury ETFs, the Nasdaq saw its worst day since April 2025. Analysts attribute the volatility spike to a market 're-sync,' correcting overstretched single-stock option premiums as major tech IPOs and shifting interest rate expectations loom. Bitcoin briefly dipped below $60,000, reflecting broader risk-off sentiment.
