Volatility melts lower

With the US equity indexes clawing a little higher, the VIX naturally melted lower, settling -2.2% @ 14.04. Near term outlook is for the VIX to remain within a tight 15/12 zone until mid/late March. The big 20 threshold looks unlikely to be re-taken until April at the earliest.

Summary

Little to add. Market remains very comfortable, with virtually no concern about anything right now.

VIX 20s certainly look unlikely until at least April.
