Mixed Thursday

Summary

It turned out to be something of a mixed day in equity land. The bulls did achieve a pair of new index historic highs - Nasdaq comp', and the R2K, but the late afternoon saw some distinct cooling on Trump China-tariff concerns.

Volatility saw a mini ramp in late afternoon, pushing into the mid teens. The drama!
