VIX claws higher into the weekend

With equities closing moderately weak, the VIX settled +4.3% @ 16.79 (intra high 17.48). Near term outlook is uncertain, and will be largely dependent on the referendum result. If the Greeks vote 'no', equities look set for another wave lower, with the VIX likely breaking into the low 20s.
