what it is

The volatility the options market expects from the S&P 500 over the next 30 days, in percent a year. Often called the fear index.

why it matters to your money

Below 15 markets are calm; above 30 they are scared, and daily swings of 2% become normal. It rises when stocks fall, so a jump usually means a red day for your portfolio.
