Cautious outlook: VIX up

Cautious outlook: VIX up

The market is showing signs of increasing caution as we move through early October. The volatility index, which measures market expectations of near term volatility, has ticked upward over the last three trading sessions. While overall market fear remains historically low, this gradual climb suggests that investors are beginning to price in some uncertainty. Traders should watch for continued shifts in sentiment as the week progresses.

The volatility index started the week near the 15 level.

It has steadily climbed over three consecutive days.

Overall market fear remains contained but is rising slightly.
