Synopsis
On this week's episode of Tape Talk, Quint and Daniel explore the moves higher this week across a variety of markets. Stocks, bonds, and gold, nearly every asset had its time in the spotlight this week. Good News Much of the week's moves were based on investors interpreting the headlines as good news.

Combine these headlines with the US and China looking towards their next trade talks in October and investors found little to be negative about this week.
