Lowest VIX since March 2013

Lowest VIX since March 2013

The VIX has fallen to a low since March 2013.  TLT had a good run in April 2013 after a reported ccpi of 2.0 in March (Feb CPI).  I think it will be close this time but not 2.0 and 2.0 or 1.99 is required. So I would expect gas buddy to fall away in July. On Jun 17, I expect gcpi to be slightly lower and ccpi to be 1.90.

Perhaps July CPI day will show ccpi of 2.0 but this depends on gas buddy staying elevated through June (last June gas buddy fell). This would lead to a market correction in August perhaps to the 200dma or more if gas buddy stays up.

GCPI is weakly connected to TLT moves indicating a future direction of CCPI.

Employment to Population Ratio same for past 3 months

We’ll only know that for sure as the recovery continues and indicators like the labor force participation rate (the proportion of the population who either have a job or are looking for one) rise significantly. For what it’s worth, it was unchanged in May at 62.8 percent.
