FINAL THOUGHTS
/VX futures remain elevated as rioting spreads across the US, US and China tensions are high and the pandemic continues to weigh on the global economy. Gamma exposure rose again yesterday showing continued positive gamma. DIX fell sharply, indicating dark pool buying activity has diminished but is still positive. We continue to recommend keeping smaller contract size and using tighter stops.
