The CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) surged 47.14% to 24.44 points on November 5, its highest level since April 7, as U.S. equities sold off sharply. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 1.50%, the S&P 500 dropped 2.65%, and the Nasdaq Composite tumbled 4.25% amid the broad volatility spike. The move marks a significant risk-off shift, with the VIX jumping 7.83 points in a single session. Investors will be watching whether the volatility spike persists or reverses in the coming sessions, and whether the tech-heavy Nasdaq's steep decline signals a deeper correction.
