We opened with a huge move to the upside this morning. The market’s liking what it’s hearing right now in terms of cooling off the trade war and Elon Musk leaving D.C. to go back to Tesla (after one hell of an earnings miss yesterday).

The VIX dropped below 30 and stayed there for the first time since early April – more warm, fuzzy feelings for a market that’s been put through the wringer.
