While stocks continue to press higher, there's no denying the environment is
changing. Back in July, we suggested that as the date of a first Fed rate
hike approached, market volatility was likely to rise from the unusually low
levels that characterized 2013 and the first half of 2014. Indeed, since
the summer, equity market gains have been accompanied by greater gyrations.
Between Jan. 1 and the end of August, the average daily close on the VIX
Index (a common measure of stock market volatility) was 13.5. The average
has now risen to 15.5.
