The CBOE Volatility Index (.VIX) is down .06 to 23.97 despite a 7.4 point decline in the S&P 500. VIX, which normally rises during equity market declines, is easing now that important event risk (monthly payroll data) has passed. In addition, the economic and earnings calendar are light during the first three trading sessions next week, with only pending home sales data Tuesday carrying much market moving potential.
