VIX plummets to low 20's
Recession fears shot up Monday when the VIX made history with a one-day record jump from below 20 to 65. While the US economy is slowing and the FED possibly a little behind the curve (a US rate cut in Sept is now 100%), the real story on what happened Monday is less about a misstep from the FED but more about a policy error by the BoJ. The latter now saying they will not raise further if markets are unstable. Calm and buyers are returning to markets... for now.
