“The stock market’s fear gauge has fallen to its lowest level in more than a year, as investors drop their bets on large stock swings.  The index, an options-based measure of traders’ expectations for price swings in the S&P 500, is widely viewed as a proxy for the stock market’s capacity for sudden spikes and plunges.  Many traders say they detect little fear in the market lately. They cite a financial outlook that is widely perceived to pose little risk of an economic or market downturn: near-record stock prices, low interest rates, steady if unspectacular U.S. growth and expansive if receding Federal Reserve support for the economy and financial markets.”
