Greeks Vote 'Yes' To Third Bailout Amid Riots In Athens

It's official. Greece's Parliament has approved the country's third bailout deal just 10 days after fears an agreement wouldn't be reached hit a fever pitch.

But it's not all sunshine and rainbows. The VIX, a measure of expected near-term market volatility, rose hours before the vote as riots erupted in the streets of Athens. The S&P 500 also fell sharply near the end of Wednesday's trading and closed the session in the red.

The protestors, largely focused on anti-austerity chatter come after a faction of the nation's lawmakers called the E.U.'s bailout terms "humiliating" and "economic strangulation."
