SPX - daily

VIX - daily

Summary

US equities opened on a broadly positive note, with the market battling upward into the early afternoon. The mid/late afternoon saw considerable chop, as s/t momentum maxed out.

Volatility was ground lower, the VIX settling -6.9% to 19.96. Tomorrow is a Thursday, and if the CPI data comes in hotter than the mainstream cheerleaders are expecting, we're very likely going to see more red boxes than green.
