Volatility

We display the CBOE Volatility Indexes in four categories: US Stocks, Non-US Stocks, Commodities & Currencies, and Single Stocks. Volatility index is the implied volatility inferred from option prices of the underlying assets. The indices measure the market’s expectations for future volatility (usually the expected volatility over the next 30 days except for VIX9D, VIX3X, and VIX6M). Volatility indices tend to move in the opposite direction of the prices of the underlying assets.
