As we enter the week with hopes for some trade document by week’s end and as we all debate what’s priced in and what’s not, the VIX on Friday closed at around the lowest level since early October 2018 at 12ish. Late Friday, the CFTC data for the week ended last Tuesday revealed that non commercial (speculators) in the VIX futures were the most net short on record.
