The US Stock Market Volatility is starting to ramp up. With the recent report of 3.5% increase in GDP the market celebrated with a strong run up of 200 points. This still left the DOW slightly below 10,000 the magical number. The following day weak consumer reports triggered a sell off of 250 points. The Dow now stands right below 9,800 currently. These recent events would point towards an increase in the VIX volatility index. The market has failed to hold 10,000 which would suggest the stock market has a good chance of tracking lower. Either way there will be large moves in either direction and stops must be considered at all times. The Currencies will inevitably be reacting as the price of OIL and stocks swings.
