Summary

US equities opened very significantly higher, helped by European markets. The gains were shaky though, with the SPX maxing out at 3088, and swinging to 3003. There was a secondary ramp to 3055, but then a new intraday low of 2984 in early afternoon. The late afternoon saw another swing upward.

Volatility was itself rather wild, printing 44.16, but settling -11.5% to 36.09. Prime target are the sp'2830s, which should equate to VIX 55s or so.
