QQQ - Market Volatility Bulletin: Stocks Notch Eighth Straight Week Of Gains
Market Intro

US stock markets (SPY, DIA, QQQ, IWM) are apparently less nervous about problematic economic data (e.g. retail sales) than are Asian markets (AAXJ), at least if you believe the headlines.
Spot Vix fell a full eight percent on Friday, as hopes in a China trade deal sparked higher prices. Whether such hopes are justified will be revealed in short order. No doubt the recovery adds pressure to both sides to follow through with a reasonable negotiation process.
