Stock Market Just Before the BrExit Vote
Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016 Jun 22, 2016 - 10:23 AM GMTThough the conversation surrounding the outcome of the EU referendum continues to heat-up, during the last 36 hours, the market has already decided on which side is going to win.
Two key defensive elements, in particular, are pulling back as the final count down unfolds.
The Volatility Index or VIX, after a brief surge in early June, has backed-off and dropped into a more moderate risk level.
Gold, which often rises during periods of global unrest, appears to have also crested at same time as the VIX.
And the S&P 500 is starting a mild rebound leading up the critical vote.
Bottom line: Though the Brexit vote is still undecided and over a day away, the market is already casting its vote on the outcome.
Price levels on two key defensive elements, the Volatility Index (VIX) and gold are already beginning to roll over and retreat.
Though a reversal of trend in both the VIX and gold are still possible, the probability of the market getting the direction of the vote right is a more likely scenario.
