Implied volatility on the S&P 500 is soaring today ahead of a summit in Europe later this week. Investor George Soros said the summit may prove to be a disaster if it fails to create the protections needed in the event of a Greek exit from the eurozone.

Additionally, the prospect of slowing growth in China and other emerging market economies is also adding to fears.
