Week In Volatility

How low can we go? US markets up slightly, and volatility indexes declined even further. Around the world volatility indexes were more mixed: VIX fell by 0.9, while VSTOXX in Europe rose 0.31, RTSVX fell 1.03, VHSI up 0.22, and VNKY up 3.75.
P.S. There are dynamic charts below; sometimes not rendered inside google reader but should be visible on the website. Email me if you cannot see the charts.
