In a market in which nothing matters, and where all risk asset values are set by central planners, it took a while for those unlucky few who still actually trade, to realize that the CBOE was offline all morning, hitting VIX, and various other options products. After all the CBOE just happens to be the world’s largest options exchange. According to the website as of 10.39am CT the bulk of systems are operating normally, but according to traders on the ground this is not true, and as the CBOE also notes,the C1 system is still down.
Frankly, who cares: can the Fed just leak the closing S&P500 price for the day so we can all just go home.
