Designed to capture the mood of investors in a wild corner of the stock market, Wall Street's new fear gauge is behaving in a decidedly un-volatile way. And that's confusing traders accustomed to fast-changing moves in the world of options.
Like clockwork every day since its creation in late April, the Cboe One-Day Volatility Index has opened lower, dropping 3.2 points on average from its previous close.

Eric Wallerstein - WSJ
Investors are bracing for a flood of more than $1 trillion of Treasury bills in the wake of the debt-ceiling fight, potentially sparking a new bout of volatility in financial markets.

Farmer sentiment sours as crop prices decline
CME Group
Producer sentiment fell to its weakest reading since July 2022, as the Purdue University/CME Group Ag Economy Barometer declined 19 points to a reading of 104 in May. The Index of Future Expectations was down 22 points to a reading of 98 in May, while the Index of Current Conditions was down 13 points to a reading of 116. This month's lower sentiment was fueled by drops in both of the barometer's sub-indices and likely triggered by weakened crop prices.
