I appreciate your request, but I need to clarify an important limitation: I cannot access external URLs or browse websites, including the CBOE dashboard link you provided. I can only work with the search results already provided to me.

Based on the search results available, here's what I can report:

According to Cboe Global Markets, the VIX spot price as of April 10, 2026 was 19.83, up 1.74 percent or 0.34 points from the previous close of 19.49. The FRED database from the St. Louis Federal Reserve confirms the April 9 closing level at 19.49, with April 8 showing 21.04, representing a significant decline of 7.37 percent from that prior market day.

The recent trend shows volatility has decreased substantially compared to one year ago. According to YCharts, the VIX is down 42.03 percent from one year ago when it was at 33.62. Over the past week, the index has shown some fluctuation, with levels reaching 25.78 on April 7 before moderating to the current levels.

S&P Dow Jones Indices notes that implied volatility typically increases when markets are turbulent or the economy falters, while declining when stock prices are rising and no dramatic changes appear probable. The current modest VIX levels around 19.83 suggest relatively calm market conditions with investors expecting a narrow trading range for the S&P 500 over the next 30 days.

Regarding underlying factors, the search results indicate that oil market volatility contributed to recent sentiment, with WTI one-month implied volatility having surged to 68 percent before moderating to 51 percent as fears of significant supply disruption abated.
