Summary

US equities opened broadly flat, but there was some 'spooky news'... with the UK committing an act of war against Russia, having fired a barrage of 'Storm Shadow' missiles into the Kursk region.

The SPX cooled to 5860, if recovering to settle effectively flat.

Volatility picked up, the VIX printing 18.79, but cooling back to settle +4.9% at 17.16

Today was worse than yesterday

US equity indexes closed rather mixed, SPX +23pts (0.4%) at 5916. Nasdaq comp'+1.0%. Dow -0.3%. The Transports settled -0.7%. R2K +0.7%

SPX - daily

VIX - daily

Summary

US equities took a significant dive in pre-market, with news that Ukrainians - or rather US operatives, launched a missile attack on Russia. The SPX was -60pts, if opening -40pts or so.

The afternoon saw considerable chop... with the SPX stalling from last Friday's gap, to settle at 5916. 

Volatility was rather mixed, the VIX printing an opening high of 17.07, but cooling back to settle +4.9% at 16.35.

Matters on planet Krazy are worse, and I hold to the notion that today was worse than yesterday... with tomorrow to be worse than today.
