S&P 500 with Nasdaq eked out more green Monday gains, but how are the internals looking strong? Are volatility metrics favorable? How about Trump‘s disappointment over the„ unacceptable Iranian response? No action ahead of Thursday‘s meeting with Xi – and then?

Can yesterday‘s moves in real assets that brought great gains to clients continue shortly?
