Market Volatility The vix indicates how volatile the market currently is. Right now, the VIX is sitting at 14.40. A neutral market is indicated by a vix being at 17. Since the vix is sitting on the low end, we should continue to see the market stay relatively safe. However, with all the ongoing issues of a slowing global growth, trade, and poor economic data, it would be best to keep your risk appetite low until things smooth over. The VIX is currently trading below the 50 EMA and 200 EMA.
