FINAL THOUGHTS


/VX futures slipped lower back into the low 30s as volatility remains elevated. Gamma exposure dropped slightly yesterday, signifying continued positive gamma. DIX also fell modestly as dark pool buying remains high. It remains to be seen if this is a simple breather on the way to higher highs or if we are in the middle of an extended downturn. Expect continued increased volatility in most, if not all, futures instruments. We continue to recommend keeping smaller contract size and using tighter stops.
