The VIX index dropped to 21.15 on Friday, indicating lower market volatility. The S&P 500 and other indices declined, while Intel's shares fell 30 percent, their most severe day since 1974. The decline in the VIX reflects favorable market breadth, despite the overall market decline. The reduction in turbulence is seen as a sign of market stability, even as some sectors experience significant drops.
