Euro zone equity volatility jumps to highest since U.S. bank rout
ReutersNov 18, 2025 8:29 AM
MILAN, Nov 18 (Reuters) - A gauge of euro zone equity volatility surged to its highest since the U.S. regional bank sell-off in mid-October, as risk-off sentiment gripped markets, pressuring almost every asset class from stocks to gold and bitcoin.
The Euro STOXX volatility index .V2TX, the region's equivalent of Wall Street's so-called "fear gauge" VIX .VIX, was last up 2.4 points at 22.6 after hitting its highest since Oct. 17. It is still well off April's high of 53.5.
