The CBOE Volatility Index soared to its highest level since the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The global stock market is experiencing a rapid sell-off following a lackluster US jobs report, raising concerns about the economy and the Federal Reserve’s timing on interest rate cuts. Major companies like Apple, Nvidia, and Tesla saw significant declines, and Bitcoin dropped over 15%.
