VIX signals calm despite lingering concerns about a stock selloff

MarketWatch says the VIX, often called Wall Street’s fear gauge, is flashing an all-clear signal for volatility risk.

MarketWatch reports that Wall Street’s “fear gauge,” the VIX, is signaling an all-clear condition even as investors weigh a range of looming risks.

The outlet frames the current VIX reading as a sign of calmer expectations for stock-market volatility, despite concerns that a selloff could still emerge.
