Market context
Why it moved
The VIX surged to a more-than-one-week high as a deepening selloff in chip stocks — fueled by disappointing AI spending outlooks from TSMC — combined with Netflix's weak revenue forecast and escalating U.S.-Iran geopolitical tensions drove a broad retreat from risk assets and spiked Wall Street's fear gauge.
