SPX hasn't moved in five weeks. The median stock is down 4.5%.
Now credit is splitting too.
The weakest bonds are taking the hit, HY CDX is breaking higher and VIX remains asleep.
SPX 3 month skew have made a sharp turn as oil has come down.
This suggests strong positioning for a year end rally, as call skew lifted (left) and put skew dropped (right).
Note that the call skew is near 1-year highs, with put skew at 1-year lows.
