As global stocks completed a sixth quarter of gains for the first time since 1997, a gauge tracking the price of equity protection in the U.S. plunged to its lowest level since February. The Credit Suisse Fear Barometer, which measures the cost of bearish to bullish three-month options on the S&P 500 Index, fell for a third straight week to 25.54 on Friday, down from 41.39 in August and lower than the annual average of 32.21. The CBOE Volatility Index posted its longest streak of quarterly drops since 2011 and may be in for a quiet end to the year, if history is any guide.
