VIX — Volatility Index
The CBOE Volatility Index measures how much the market expects the S&P 500 to swing over the next 30 days. Often called the "Fear Gauge".
Below 20 — CALM: Markets are relaxed, low expected swings 20–30 — CAUTION: Elevated uncertainty, moderate risk Above 30 — FEAR: High panic, expect sharp market moves
10Y Treasury Yield —
×
10-Year Treasury Yield
The interest rate on US government 10-year bonds. A key benchmark for global borrowing costs, mortgages, and economic health.
- Rising yields — Investors expect higher inflation or strong growth; borrowing gets more expensive
- Falling yields — Investors seek safety; may signal recession fears or expected rate cuts
During conflicts, yields often fall as investors flee to "safe haven" US bonds.
Yield Curve —
×
Yield Curve Spread
The difference between 10-year and 2-year Treasury yields. One of the most reliable recession predictors.
Positive (normal) — Economy healthy, long-term rates higher than short-term Flat (~0) — Uncertainty rising, possible slowdown ahead Negative (inverted) — Recession warning: has preceded every US recession in 50 years
