VIX FIX – Tepid Volatility
For weeks, market enthusiasts have braced themselves for a resurgence in volatility that has yet to materialize. The Dow Jones is ending the week slightly lower, while the CBOE Volatility Index continued to venture lower, dropping below the 14 level mid-week, before slightly rebounding later in the week. Stocks and volatility both remain tepid, but for how long?
