Wall Street's fear gauge jumps 70% after midterm election shocks AI sector, marking third-largest spike since 1990

On November 5, 2026, the Cboe Volatility Index (VIX), Wall Street's fear gauge, surged 69.66% from 16.61 to 28.18, its third-largest one-day percentage jump since 1990. The spike followed the midterm election results where Democrats won both chambers, raising investor concerns about potential restrictions on AI and data-center growth, which had driven recent market gains. Major indexes fell sharply, erasing earlier post-election rallies. Historically, such VIX spikes often precede market rebounds, but uncertainty remains as new policies could impact AI earnings and broader market performance in the near term.
