VIX surge to 27 signals increased US stock market volatility amid Iran conflict fears

The US stock market experienced a significant downturn, with major indices falling sharply as the VIX, a key measure of market volatility, surged to its highest level in three months. The CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) jumped over 23% to 27.30, signaling heightened investor fear amid escalating tensions with Iran. This surge coincided with the Dow Jones Industrial Average dropping over 800 points, and the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite each declining more than 1.5%.

Oil prices briefly exceeded $84 per barrel before retreating; Brent crude settled at $81.51, and U.S. crude rose to $74.90.
