The disintegrating UK

SPX - daily

VIX - daily

Summary

US equities were sig' lower overnight/early, but then the BoE issued a press release that it was going to spool up the printers, and start buying bonds... which it did... spending around $1.1bn today on tier'1 garbage UK GILTs.

US equities rallied, largely helped by a downside reversal in the USD. The SPX battled upward, printing 3736, and settling at 3719. Today's close >3717 is significant, and offers confidence of a run to 3890/3900.

Volatility cooled back, the VIX printing (cash market) early high of 33.83, but cooling back to settle -7.4% to 30.18.
