What's this?

The way I see it, the VIX generally has been in a lower range


since the incredible Great Recession spikes than it was prior to that. Maybe a reflection of how much govt intervention there has been steadying the markets with QE and near zero interest rates. Within that time frame, the greatest spikes occurred around the last pres election, then calmed considerably, then spiked with the near-market correction end of last year, calmed down again, and have been spiking since late summer again.

The VIX spikes since late last year seem almost married to Trump tweets, particularly on trade.
