Ugly end to an ugly month

US equity indexes closed powerfully lower, SPX -155pts (3.6%) at 4131. Nasdaq comp' -4.2%. Dow -2.8%. The Transports settled -3.0%. R2K -2.8%.

SPX - daily

VIX - daily

Summary

US equities opened broadly lower. There were repeated bounce attempts... but all failed, with the SPX spiraling lower into the afternoon.

-

The VIX picked up, settling +11.4% to 33.40.
