August 30, 2019 Headlines
The month of August is typically lethargic as market participants focus on summer vacation, however, this year the month has brought volatility. Yesterday, positive trade headlines surfaced that China was not looking to escalate current trade tensions. While vague, the comments initiated a risk on trade that has carried optimism into this morning with S&P 500 futures up .53% and Treasury yields 1-2bps higher. Although there is not an official early close, trading desks will be lightly staffed in anticipation of the Labor Day. Have a great holiday weekend!
