11am update - a weekly VIX close in the 11s

With the sp' set for a close in the 1790/1805 zone, the VIX looks set for a weekly close in the 11s. Metals remain a touch weak, whilst Oil is +0.3%. Equity bulls remain in full control, in what is an almost entirely fearless market.


VIX'monthly


Summary

The point I've made a few times in recent months...this bizarrely tight range in the VIX could last a very long time. Just look back to 2005, VIX stayed low for over two years before the market started to see the first signs of trouble.

Notable weakness in...

STX, daily


I'm not sure why its significantly lower, but it is still holding above the old resistance top in the $46s

11.14am..and there are the VIX 11s.   I gotta wonder if single digit VIX in the current multi-month wave..by say..late March, and perhaps that will be a VIX low of the current 4 year rally.
