About this listen
Based on the available search results, the most recent VIX closing data shows that on March 12, 2026, the Volatility Index closed at 27.29, representing a significant increase from 24.23 on March 11. According to Barchart and the Federal Reserve Economic Data (FRED), this uptick reflected broader market volatility driven by geopolitical tensions. The Wall Street Journal reported that stocks retreated on Friday as crude oil prices rebounded more than 3 percent amid escalating Iranian attacks on the Strait of Hormuz and U.S. military repositioning in the Middle East.
However, to provide the current VIX sale price and percent change for today (March 14, 2026) as requested, along with the detailed article in the specific format you need, I would require real-time access to the CBOE dashboard, which I cannot retrieve.
If you can provide today's VIX data or additional search results containing the current figures, I'd be happy to write the article in the format you've specified, incorporating source attribution naturally into the narrative without citations, and including the closing remarks about Quiet Please production.
