Summary

US equities began the week significantly lower, as the market was especially spooked by increasing China/HK tensions. Last Friday's low of 2900 was taken out, with an afternoon low of 2873.

Volatility naturally picked up, with the VIX seeing a high of 21.26, and settling +17.4% at 21.09. S/t outlook does favour the equity bulls... if only for early Tuesday.
