The Cboe Volatility Index (VIX), known as the 'fear index', experienced its fastest decline in history, dropping from above 40 to below 20 between April 10 and May 12, driven by easing trade tensions and strong corporate earnings. Following President Trump's tariff pauses, investor confidence surged, allowing the market to recover from volatility linked to earlier tariff fears. While the VIX's normalizing trajectory has brought some optimism, uncertainties remain as tariffs are set to resume in July, which could reignite market fluctuations.
