VIX Falls to Lowest Level Since 2008

The VIX index fell to 21.15 on Friday, showing lower market volatility. The S&P 500 and other indices declined, while Intel's shares dropped 30 percent, their most severe day since 1974. The decline in the VIX reflects positive market width, despite the overall market drop. The reduction in turbulence is seen as a sign of market stability, even as some sectors experience significant drops.
