Summary

US equities opened a little choppy, but the buyers did appear, and with some short covering, the market ended the month on a distinctly positive note. Volatility was naturally ground lower, the VIX settling -10.2% to 24.83.

Despite Monday's gains... it was still a month for the bears...


The SPX was net lower by -5.3%, the worse month since March 2020.
