Daily volatility shows no signs of ebbing as the US and the rest of the world are continually implementing drastic measures to combat the spread of COVID-19. The market is attempting to price the economic repercussions of these measures while investors are panic selling and fleeing risky assets. The result is unprecedented highs in the CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) and significant swings from day to day. The fiscal response will also be unprecedented, and we anticipate details of a stimulus package within the next couple of days. We will send future correspondence with any details impacting our clients.

As always, please contact your team members for advice and concerns.
