I was delighted to see that China finally had enough of these trade talks and has walked away from the table. What’s Larry Kudlow going to lie about now? The success of his third marriage? Anyway, here’s an old Devo favorite which perfectly captures the trading of the past two weeks.

SlopeCharts‘ intraday chart provides a reason why I’d suggest extreme caution. The bigger picture is still “sell the rip”, OPEX monkey business notwithstanding.
