RISK: On risk appetite, the CBOE's volatility........>

RISK, ROMANIA
RISK: On risk appetite, the CBOE's volatility index or VIX was last at 11.54, on
the low side of a 11.35 to 12.94 range.
- The VIX high of 17.28, seen August 11 at the peak of escalating U.S.-North
Korea tensions, was the highest since Nov. 9, the day after the U.S. election,
when the VIX peaked at 21.48. The 2017 high was 23.01, seen Nov. 4 ahead of the
election.
- In August, the VIX has traded both sides of its 200-day moving average,
currently 11.84. The index will need to close below that mark on a sustained
basis to suggest that risk sentiment was improving.
- The July 26 low of 8.84 was a new life-time intraday VIX low (prior life-time
intraday low was 8.89, seen Dec. 27, 1993).
