Summary
US equities opened in minor chop mode, and leaned on the weaker side into the mid afternoon. The press release from the Fed, aka... Print Central, upset the cart, with the market imploding into the close.
Volatility was subdued until 2pm... and then spiking to 20.17, the VIX settling +16.7% to 19.73. Thursday will inherently favour the equity bears.
