- Happy days are here again. Across global markets, the outlook for volatility is lower than at any point previously this year.
- VIX® flirted with sub-13 levels during intraday trading yesterday; it closed just over a point down since our last report, and within a whisker of this year’s low.
- The S&P 500® is challenging the May 2015 all-time-highs that it approached, and failed to breach, in both November and December. With VIX now returning to ground, perhaps it will be third time lucky.
- The credit markets remain more sceptical, with U.S. high yield spreads providing a reminder that oil prices, while they may have arrested their decline, remain challengingly cheap for producers.
