Macro

The weather every stock is priced against — volatility, interest rates, currencies and the economy. Not a signal about any one ticker; the backdrop they all move in.

Volatility (VIX)

14.25-2.60%Calm

52-week range 13.435.3. Above ~20 signals rising fear; a higher VIX means the market expects bigger swings. Note it rises when stocks fall, so up is the anxious direction here.
