Summary

US equities began the first day of autumn on a pretty sleepy note. The SPX saw early weakness to 2982, but then clawed back upward into the late afternoon to 2999, with a touch of cooling into the close.

Volatility was itself subdued, with the VIX settling -2.7% at 14.91. S/t outlook offers some market drama. In theory, the SPX should at least tag the upper end of secondary downside gap to the 2920s, which would likely equate to VIX near the key 20 threshold.
