The Cboe Volatility Index, a key measure of investor anxiety, surged to its highest level in over three months as U.S. stocks plunged following economic data suggesting a potential slowdown. The S&P 500 dipped nearly 1.4%, with the Nasdaq Composite falling by 2.3%. This increase in volatility reflects growing investor concerns about corporate earnings and economic growth, leading to a spike in VIX options trading.
