SPX - daily

VIX - daily

Summary

US equities saw considerable chop in early morning, but were increasingly weak into the mid afternoon, the SPX breaking a new multi-month low of 4062. There was a rather powerful late day ramp, with indexes even turning positive. For the bulls, it makes for a pretty good s/t floor/turn. 

Volatility was very mixed, the VIX printing 36.64, but with equities ramping into the close, the VIX cooled to settle -3.2% to 32.34.
