India VIX
India VIX, or the Indian Volatility Index, measures market volatility and investor sentiment. A higher India VIX indicates greater market volatility, while a lower value suggests stability and low volatility. Typically, India VIX ranges between 10 and 30, considered normal levels of volatility. However, during extreme market events, such as the 2020 pandemic, India VIX surged to values near 85, reflecting heightened uncertainty and risk in the market. The index helps investors gauge the level of market fear or confidence at any given time.
