VIX Fix: All 10s

Another week, another record – the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DOW) saw back to back records highs Thursday and Friday, despite the constant drumbeat of political drama. President Trump opted out the Paris Climate Agreement, which seemed to impress market participants, citing that the agreement was bad for U.S. businesses. Meanwhile, the CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) closed below the 10 level four days in the month of May and also the first two trading days in June. To put this rarity in perspective, since 1990, the VIX Index has had an end of day close below the 10 level only 9 other times! Volatility lovers haven’t given up hope, looking for more volatile days ahead, but for the present – it’s just not here.
