The Cboe Volatility Index remains steady at 17.7, indicating investor calmness before a crucial jobs report. A reading below 20 suggests low volatility. Investors are cautious ahead of the nonfarm payrolls report, which will reveal the impact of tariff turmoil on the U.S. labor market. Volatility may increase if data disappoints after strong May performance.
