It was a red Thursday

SPX - daily

VIX - daily

Summary

US equities opened significantly lower, lead lower by tech... not helped via FB and SPOT. There were a few bounce attempts, but all failed, with the market sliding into the late afternoon.

Volatility picked up, the VIX settling +10.2% to 24.35. 

As I often note... Thursdays do tend to favour the bears. Now its case of how the week settles.
