Terms & Concepts
  • VIX: A Cboe index that reflects expected 30-day S&P 500 volatility from options, often called the market’s fear gauge.
  • Stock index futures: Exchange-traded derivatives tracking equity indexes, used to hedge or speculate on index levels outside regular cash hours.
  • DeFi (decentralized finance): Blockchain-based financial services without traditional intermediaries; token prices and yields can be sensitive to macro risk shifts.
