The main reasons - and all are geopolitics:
- Trumps tradewars on China, NAFTA, Europe - Geopolitical tensions on Syria, North Korea, Russia - Upcomming First round of election in France
What traders missed: Stockmarkets "underlying" - Global economic Data. This data and upcomming earnings still comming in above expectations. In the next tradingdays better than expected economic data will meet fears wich might be much overdone. Once more.

VIX is anticipating a further drop in volatility. This would mean likely the last leg to the upside before a larger consolidation for all global stockmarkets might occur.
VIX probably on the path for the lowest numbers in stockmarkets history.
