S&P 500 VIX Futures Market News and Commentary

Stocks Settle Higher on Strong Earnings

The S&P 500 Index ($SPX) (SPY) on Monday closed up +0.19%, the Dow Jones Industrial Average ($DOWI) (DIA) closed up +0.19%, and the Nasdaq 100 Index ($IUXX) (QQQ) closed up +0.29%.  June E-mini S&P futures (ESM26) rose +0.18%, and June E-mini Nasdaq futures (NQM26) rose +0.28%.
