The Dow Jones today slips for the second day this week as investor uncertainty rises ahead of a major week of events for the stock market.
Dow futures are down 248 points this morning as the CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) reaches its highest level since Q4 2016. The VIX provides the market's volatility implied by S&P 500 stock options. It's referred to as the stock market "fear gauge".
However there's no need to panic, healthy stock rallies require pullbacks.
