The CBOE Volatility Index (.VIX) strayed from its usual pattern Friday. With 15 minutes left to trade, the VIX is down .50 to 22.44 despite a decline in the S&P 500 Index (.SPX). Normally, VIX, which tracks the expected volatility priced into SPX options, moves higher when S&P 500 declines. That was not to be the case on Friday, however, as risk perceptions fell after key event risk (in the form of monthly payroll data) has now passed. In addition, while investors endured a roller coaster week of trading in the equity market, when all was said and done, nothing much had really changed. The S&P 500 was 6 points, or .5 percent, above week ago levels and the CBOE Volatility Index was down .41 points on the week. Monday holds personal income/spending numbers early and then factory orders are 10:00. Fannie Mae (FNM), Humana (HUM), and the Intercontinental Exchange (ICE) are among a handful of companies due to report before the opening bell.
