VIX a touch lower

With equity indexes closing somewhat mixed, the VIX remained subdued, settling -0.3% @ 13.26 (intra low 12.66). Outlook is for continued equity upside, which should keep the VIX stuck within the 14/10 zone. The big 20 threshold looks out of range until mid May.. at the earliest.

Little to add.

VIX remains very subdued, as the US.. and most world capital markets have little concern about anything, including the possibility of a GREXIT.
