SPX - daily

VIX - daily

Summary

US equities opened broadly higher, partly on META, partly on 'fine' GDP and weekly jobs data. The SPX printed a new multi-month high of 4607. From there, a very significant downside reversal, printing 4528, and settling at 4537.

Volatility was very mixed, the VIX printing 12.84, but spiking to 14.55, and settling +9.2% to 14.41.

Today's reversal is the most dynamic price action since March 22nd.
It doesn't merit any hysteria, but it does merit some reflection.
