SPX - daily5

VIX - daily3

Summary

US equities opened significantly higher, and built rather powerful gains into the mid afternoon.

Meanwhile...

... as the Marxists/communists are seeking a bigger piece of the cake, even if it means a smaller cake, as capital would hide... or just flee offshore. Will the monstrous deficit spending be funded with higher taxes, or will US T-Sec' Yellen call up Print Central's Powell to print another trillion?

The afternoon saw some chop, with a little cooling into the close. On any basis, it was a very positive start to March.

Volatility was naturally ground lower, the VIX settling -16.5% to 23.35.
