Volatility and rates

The VIX stood at 24.41 at 12:15 PM ET, down 3.77 points on the day. This is Cboe's delayed quote, not a close.

Treasury publishes one official yield reading a day, after the session; Blockhaven does not report an intraday yield, so rates are not described here.

What this edition cannot establish

  • The session is not over: a midday reading can change by the close, and nothing here is a forecast of it.
  • Moves with no verified catalyst are reported, not explained.
  • Blockhaven's Macro read is computed once a day and is not recomputed intraday, so it is not used here.

Observation 12:30 PM ET on Friday; data through 12:31 PM ET. Prices are delayed last trades from Nasdaq's public quotes, not closes.

This edition was compiled and published automatically from public sources under Blockhaven's standing editorial policy for intraday editions, at 12:31 PM ET on Fri, Nov 6, 2026, exactly as generated; an editor did not review it individually before release. It describes what has happened and is not a forecast or investment advice.
