The S&P VIX Index (VIX), often referred to as Wall Street's fear gauge, jumped as much as 181% to 65.70, the highest level since March 2020, when markets were rocked by the unfolding COVID-19 pandemic.  It has since reduced the gain to a still-hefty 67% to 39.87, the highest since May 2020.  The VIX (VIX) surged as Wall Street’s major stock indexes sank, following up on Friday’s selloff as the July U.S. jobs report ignited fears the U.S. economy is headed toward a recession and the Federal Reserve is late in cutting interest rates. During Monday’s session, the S&P 500 (SP500) was -2.3%, the Nasdaq Composite (COMP:IND) was -3.3% and the Dow (DJI) was -2.3%. The Nasdaq Composite (COMP:IND) was driving further into a correction. Overnight, Japan's Nikkei 225 Index (NKY:IND) plunged 13.2%, its worst session since the 2011 Fukushima nuclear meltdown. On the Treasury front Monday, the yield curve between 2s/10s un-inverted for the first time in over two years. The 10-year Treasury yield (US10Y) fell 4 basis points to 3.75%, the lowest since July 2023. The 2-year yield (US2Y) dropped 6 basis points to 3.83%. See how Treasury yields have done across the curve on the Seeking Alpha bond page. “The main beneficiary in all this is the bond market. Yields have slumped over the last few trading sessions as investors price in the prospect of sharply lower interest rates,” David Morrison, senior market analyst at Trade Nation, said in a note. “There’s also the ‘flight-to-quality’ aspect, where funds coming out of equities are parked in bills, notes and bonds until investors get some clarity over how much more stock market downside there may be.”  European indices including the FTSE 100 (UKX), CAC 40 (CAC:IND) and DAX (DAX:IND) also dropped Monday.
