Fear no more. Stocks rallied yesterday as China flashed what appeared to be a wink ahead of next month's meeting between negotiators. Tech shares rallied, led by Apple after a favorable response to Tuesday’s new product launches.

A tale of two trades. Stocks had another mixed close yesterday as investors clamored to jump on the next big thing. Bonds had a difficult day as investors continued the exodus into battered down equities.

The sound of silence. Stocks had a mixed close yesterday with no news on the trade front and silence from the Fed ahead of its policy meeting. Capital moved out of bonds and into value stocks yesterday pushing treasury yields higher - good news for some and bad news for others.

Nothing to see here. Stocks posted a mixed close on Friday on a weak jobs number and an upbeat Fed Chairman. Traders largely overlooked a weaker than expected jobs growth number, pointing to the still low unemployment rate as a good sign.

Break those chains. Stocks soared yesterday in response to some positive economic data and renewed trade talks between the US and China. While stocks climbed, bonds took a beating as traders asserted their newfound faith in the US economy.

A happy place :) It was risk-on for equities yesterday as Hong Kong officials relented to protesters. In the UK, Parliament took control, limiting the potential for a hard Brexit which provided some extra encouragement to stock bulls.

Manufacturing a mess. Stocks sank yesterday on trade fears and a not-so-surprising pullback in US manufacturing. China lodged a complaint about US tariffs to the WTO and bad economic numbers drove the selling in yesterday’s session.
