The VIX index fell to 21.15 on Friday, showing lower market volatility. The S&P 500 and other indices dropped, while Intel's shares dropped 30 percent, their worst day since 1974. The decline in the VIX reflects positive market breadth, despite the overall market drop. The reduction in turbulence is seen as a indication of market calm, even as some sectors experience significant declines.
