US Stocks Set To Open Higher After Monday's Crash, VIX Plummets: Analyst Says Would Have Worried If Market Surged Higher Without Correction

U.S. stocks look to bounce back on Tuesday following an across-the-board sell-off in the previous session. Strategists say all the yen carry trades haven’t been unwound yet, which raises the specter of incremental weakness.
