How is it that VIX_CGI has data for June 19, 2024, a day when SPX is closed and therefore should not be able to price options?

I am asking because it leads me to question the source of VIX_CGI. Is it really CBOE, or some other synthetically generated data, perhaps from VIX futures?

Attaching photo from CBOE showing that there is no data for today.

The volatility index is calculated using SPX options. The options market was actually open in the morning of June 19:

This is the real CBOE volatility index from the CBOE.

And it does not matter what the CBOE is showing themselves in that particular chart. The actual data feed from the CBOE which Sierra Chart uses, is the official reference.
