VIX'daily3
Summary
US equities opened moderately higher, but maxed out at 2839, and then saw chop across the day. Once the FOMC was out of the way, the market leaned weak, breaking a new intralow in the closing hour, then leaning fractionally higher.
The VIX opened weak, filled yesterday's gap, and then climbed as equities cooled in the late afternoon.
*stockcharts settling VIX print of 13.70 is different from my trading screen of 13.54, and I'll side with the screen!
