Summary

US equities opened moderately higher, helped via Asian and European market strength. The SPX broke a new cycle high of 2794, which was fully confirmed/supported via a new cycle low in the VIX of 13.67. The afternoon saw a little cooling, but then Trump made an appearance with the Chinese VP... resulting in a mini ramp.


As things are, the March 1st scheduled hike in tariffs is almost certainly going to be delayed.
