Summary
It was a pretty subdued start to the week, with most indexes leaning on the moderately weaker side.
However, its notable that the equity bull maniacs still managed to break a new historic high in at least one index - the Nasdaq comp'. By definition, regardless of the rest of the week... its already another week for the equity bulls.
VIX remains broadly subdued - as it can for many weeks, even months at a time. Sure, a brief spike to the mid teens is always a threat on any sporadic 'spooky news', but the key 20 threshold looks out of range for another month.
