SPX – daily

VIX – daily

Summary

Equities broke the s/t bearish trend, ending the week on a broadly positive note.

Volatility was ground lower into the weekend, the VIX settling -11.2% to 15.84. 

Today was a quarter century since the primary geo-political event of the early 21st century. 
It has clearly become monstrously worse, for what is now an era of increasing dystopic horror.
