CNBC reported on November 6, 2026 that spikes in the Cboe Volatility Index, known as the VIX, have historically marked good entry points for stocks. The analysis cited past episodes in which elevated readings of the fear gauge preceded equity gains, but the excerpt did not include specific index levels or dates. The commentary comes as stocks have been volatile after the midterm elections, and Nasdaq futures were rebounding ahead of the October jobs report. The piece did not give specific figures for the VIX or for market moves.
