The VIX Index Hits Record Low

The VIX index dropped to 21.15 on Friday, indicating lower market turbulence. The S&P 500 and other indices declined, while Intel's shares fell 30 percent, their worst day since 1974. The decline in the VIX reflects favorable market breadth, despite the overall market decline. The reduction in volatility is seen as a sign of market calm, even as some sectors experience significant declines.
