VIX Fix: Markets Texas Tough

Equity markets have proven to be amazingly resilient even as macro and geopolitical events continue to take center stage. Increasing tensions between the U.S. and North Korea, along with the devastating flooding of Houston, have failed to shake investor confidence. The Nasdaq saw an all-new record high as August came to a close and the Dow Industrial Index (DOW) rose above 22,000 for the first time in two weeks. The CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) saw a brief pop Tuesday, but has since pulled back, now hovering around the 10-level. So, as volatility recedes, our thoughts and prayers are with Texas in hopes the floodwaters follow suit.
