FINAL THOUGHTS


/VX futures remain in the low 30s as volatility is elevated. Gamma exposure rose yesterday, signifying continued positive gamma. DIX dropped moderately 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.
