Stock indexes: evidence of hesitancy to chase obvious price strength.
VIX Fear Index rose again and has turned relatively firm after plunging below 5-month lows on 10/13/10. VIX fell to 17.90 on 10/13/10, down from 48.20 on 5/21/10. The relatively low VIX suggests that sentiment has been through a period of bullish complacency, while a firming VIX indicates hesitancy by options players to chase obvious price strength. VIX is a market estimate of expected constant 30-day volatility, calculated by weighting S&P 500 Index CBOE option bid/ask quotes spanning a wide range of strike prices for the two nearest expiration dates.
