Joanna Ossinger, Bloomberg via Yahoo Finance
The tariff news-induced volatility has outdone that for equities and may be due to reverse, according to Wells Fargo & Co.
The Cboe Volatility Index, or VIX, rose as high as 19.46 intraday after U.S. President Donald Trump announced a new round of tariff hikes on Chinese imports, abruptly escalating the trade war between the two countries. It was at 18.01, up from Thursday's close, as of 8:33 a.m. in New York. The S&P 500 posted a modest 0.9% drop on Thursday to put it only about 2.4% below the July 26 record high.
