Wall Street's Fear Gauge Shoots Higher, Marking End to Tranquil Streak -- WSJ

Dow Jones

Aug 01, 2025

By Roshan Fernandez

Wall Street's "fear gauge" climbed Friday as the market jolted awake after a tranquil period recently.

The Cboe Volatility index, which uses options to measure short-term expectations for how volatile the S&P 500 will be, jumped 19% to trade at nearly 20. That is still a relatively modest level compared to periods of acute market stress.

The Nasdaq Composite is set to snap a streak of 19 trading days without a 1% move in either direction, the longest such streak since July 2021, according to Dow Jones Market Data.

The S&P 500 is on pace to end a 26-day streak of sub-1% moves, the longest since October. Both indexes sank Friday after a weak July jobs report and President Trump's revamped tariff plan.
