The Cboe Volatility Index VIX, a measure of implied volatility on Wall Street, fell nearly 16% to just below 18 on Tuesday, putting the index on pace for its sharpest daily drop since February, according to FactSet data. The decline in the VIX to around 17.94 puts its on pace to mark the largest one-day stumble since Feb. 14. The move comes after the VIX hit its highest level in months to close at 24.98 amid a broad rout for equity benchmarks.

Both implied and realized volatility have been surging in recent days. Tuesday's gains came as the Dow Jones Industrial Average jumped 500 points, the S&P 500 index climbed 1.9% and the Nasdaq Composite Index was trading more than 2%. Last week, investors reacted to a recent surge in government bond yields, with the 10-year Treasury note yielding 3.26%.
