VIX website snapshot

Cboe’s website showed the VIX index at 24.03 when checked around 15:42 UTC on November 5, up 7.42 points, or 44.67%, from its previous close of 16.61. This is a website snapshot: the data section carries a delay notice and its time label does not specify a time zone. The retrieval time therefore does not establish when the index value was updated.[1]
