A volatility index calculated and published by the Chicago Board Options Exchange.
It provides a measure of average market expectations about the size - but not the direction - of future changes in stock prices.
It is calculated as the average implied volatility in the prices of options over the S&P 500 index.
Sometimes written Vix Index.
