Markets stayed in watch mode on Friday until the G20 proceedings played through to a truce announced on US-China trade. I did the same. Trade action limited to options expiry, dividend reinvestment and reversal trading in cryptocurrency through the pullback. Short update too as I head off on holiday - will keep updates short as I do not have access to my accounting software.
