VIX'daily3
Summary
US equities opened significantly higher on yet another trade/tariff related news headline. This time it was news (or was it really just an overly hopeful speculative rumour?), that US/China officials will resume talks in October.
Volatility was ground lower, with the VIX settling -6.1% at 16.27. Friday (around 12.30pm EDT) will see Powell speak in Switzerland, and Mr market will most certainly be listening for any talk of 'mid cycle' or 'late cycle' rate cuts. As noted on the SPX and VIX charts, I do expect further rate cuts into the autumn.
