This morning Barclays resumed the share creation process on $VXX, the 6 month fiasco is over. VXX's behavior will return to its previous self, but it remains to be seen how much of the former 60 million/day volume returns. Probably not all of it...

happy friday everyone. instead of making snarky comments on "why is vix weaker than i expect" tweets, i'll just re-explain this. vix index is (the square root of) a particular 1-month implied variance calculation based on option prices. such calculations are always annualized.
Replying to @ReformedTrader
The Friday down / Monday up thing is just daycount convention (VIX is a variance swap calculation using a 30 calendar day normalization, but the market prices weekends as less volatile than trading days)
