India VIX Historical Returns
The India VIX performance is a reflection of market sentiment rather than a traditional return on investment, as it's an index and not a tradable asset in itself (though derivatives linked to it exist). Here's a look at its recent historical movements as of 18 July 2025:
-
1 Week: -4.62%
-
1 Month: -19.27%
-
3 Months: -25.73%
-
6 Months: -19.71%
-
1 Year: -15.57%
The India VIX has seen a notable decline across all listed timeframes, including a significant drop over the last month and three months. This sustained downward trend indicates a period of decreasing market volatility and increasing investor confidence in the Indian stock market index performance. Historically, a lower India VIX often correlates with a bullish market trend, as fear and uncertainty subside. This recent performance suggests a period of relative calm after earlier, more volatile phases.
India VIX News and Updates
Several key factors and news events around July 2025 have influenced the India VIX, contributing to its recent subdued levels:
-
15-Month Low: The India VIX recently dropped to its lowest level in 15 months, closing around 11.2 on Thursday, July 17, 2025. This significant decline is attributed to the absence of sharp market swings, a similar fall in US volatility (US VIX also at a 7-8 month low), and reduced trading volumes in derivatives options. Analysts suggest that while it signals market stability, it might also reflect suppressed hedging activity and lower participation in the options market.
-
Nifty 50 Consolidation: Throughout July, the Nifty 50 index has largely traded within a narrow range of 25,000-25,500. This range-bound movement, in the absence of major domestic triggers and with much of the earnings season already factored in, has contributed to the lower expected volatility measured by the India VIX.
-
Falling Retail Inflation: Positive economic news, such as retail inflation falling to a six-year low in June, has bolstered market sentiment. Lower inflation strengthens expectations of potential future rate cuts by the RBI, which could further accelerate economic growth. Such positive macroeconomic indicators tend to reduce perceived market risk and, consequently, the India VIX.
Overall, the India Volatility Index is currently reflecting a period of relative calm and stability in the Indian stock market, influenced by both domestic and global factors.
