Wall Street's Fear Gauge Lurches Higher -- WSJ

Dow Jones03-09

By Chelsey Dulaney

A gauge of expected stock-market volatility jumped early Monday, as investors bet on more economic fallout from the war in the Middle East.

-- The Cboe Volatility Index, or VIX, rose 9% to 32.15, putting it on course for its highest close since last April, when President Trump's "Liberation Day" tariffs sparked a global market rout.

-- The VIX measures expected stock-market turbulence and is widely known as Wall Street's "fear gauge."
