  • VVIX - 96.5 - DOWN 3 PTS FROM LAST SHOW  

  • VIX Futures Curve - STILL IN CONTANGO. 

    FROM MATT THOMPSON: 

    • Spot $VIX "gravity" on VIX futures does not get stronger when the curve is steep.  In fact, the opposite.  
    • Why?  Because steep curve = a lot of time to expiration.  and "gravity" has the greatest effect when a future is close to expiration
  • And much more...
