The components of the VIX Index are put and call options with more than 23 days and less than 37 days to expiration. These include SPX options expiring on the third Friday of each month and weekly SPX options expiring every Friday.</p><p>The VIX is calculated by averaging the weighted prices of various SPX puts and calls across several strike prices. The present calculation method was developed in 2003 when CBOE collaborated with Goldman Sachs to update the methodology.</p><h2 class="st-heading-2"><strong>How Does It Compare To The S&amp;P 500?</strong></h2><p>The S&amp;P 500 and the volatility index tend to move inversely. If the market goes down, the VIX usually rises; when stock prices rise, the VIX usually falls. When the VIX rises above 30, it is considered a sign of heightened uncertainty, risk, and investor concern. As VIX falls below 20, it denotes a relatively stable market environment.</p><p>Earlier in 2025, the VIX Index reached its highest daily close since the COVID-19 pandemic at 52.33 on April 8 after U.S. President Donald Trump launched his ‘Liberation Day’ tariffs, which upended the markets. However, by May, it quickly fell below 20 as trade uncertainties eased.</p><h2 class="st-heading-2"><strong>How Can An Investor Trade The VIX?</strong></h2><p>Like the S&amp;P 500 and other major indexes, investors cannot trade the VIX directly. Those interested in trading VIX can do so through futures or options contracts, or through VIX-based exchange-traded products (ETPs), like the ProShares VIX Short-Term Futures ETF (VIXY) and the iPath Series B S&amp;P 500 VIX Short-Term Futures ETN (VXX).</p><p>Several traders, institutional investors, and hedge fund managers often allocate capital to VIX-linked securities to diversify their portfolios. While the VIX measures only S&amp;P 500 volatility, it is commonly used as a benchmark for the entire U.S. stock market, according to IG analysts. With rising macroeconomic uncertainties, the VIX will likely remain a crucial barometer of market stress.</p><p>Also See: <a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/dollar-tree-stock-hits-3-month-high-after-raising-2025-earnings-forecast/cLIXv8wRE1Y">Dollar Tree Stock Hits 3-Month High After Raising 2025 Earnings Forecast</a></p><p><i>For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.</i></p>
