The CBOE Volatility Index closed at 18.11 on Tuesday. While that indicates a relatively calm market, the VIX is still up about 20% year-to-date, but nowhere near its 52-week high of 60.13.
Speaking of 52-week highs, there were 309 new ones on the NYSE yesterday, along with 316 on the Nasdaq. That’s nearly four times the new 52-week lows on both exchanges.
