With equity indexes closing broadly higher, the VIX was lower for the seventh consecutive day, settling -5.2% @ 18.39. Near term outlook threatens the sp'1950s.. but more broadly.. the 2040/60 zone, which would equate to VIX in the mid/low teens.

Little to add.
VIX remains very subdued, the 17/16s will be due tomorrow, if sp'2000/2010.
By end of next week, if sp'2040/60 zone... then VIX 14/13s. Sustained action <13 looks unlikely.
