Market Volatility Increase: The Volatility Index (VIX) surged to its highest level in over a month, reaching 25.42, indicating heightened investor caution amid market uncertainty.
Impact of Nvidia's Earnings: Nvidia's earnings report initially boosted the Nasdaq Composite by 2.5%, but the index later reversed to a 1.3% decline, reflecting broader market trends as other major benchmarks also fell.
Cryptocurrency Weakness: The risk-off sentiment was exacerbated by a decline in cryptocurrencies, with Bitcoin dropping below $87,000, marking a 5.2% decrease.
Future Market Expectations: The rise in the VIX suggests that traders are preparing for potential volatility in both equities and alternative assets as the quarter progresses.
