FINAL THOUGHTS
VIX futures are back above 50 meaning increased volatility is present throughout the markets. S&P and NASDAQ futures have both been halted until RTH and it remains to be seen if another halt is in store for these indices. Barring any positive news prior to open, expect sellers to retain control over the auction process.
