MOVE — Bond Volatility Index

What It Is

The ICE BofA MOVE Index — the bond market equivalent of the VIX. Measures expected volatility in US Treasury yields across all maturities.

Why It Matters

Bond volatility often leads equity volatility. Spikes in MOVE signal uncertainty about Fed policy or fiscal sustainability. The 2023 MOVE spike preceded the banking crisis.

How To Read

Below 80 = calm bond market. 80-100 = normal elevated. 100-150 = significant stress. Above 150 = crisis-level bond volatility. Regime Intelligence treats MOVE as a key fixed income stress signal.
