Does North Korea and Hurricane Irma news affect the markets?

Based on recent price action, the answer appears to be no.

Even though the media shows a lot of imagery – and the markets could be down at some point – lately it’s always bounced to higher levels shortly afterwards — in the matter of hours.

So far this has happened twice in the last week or so – and each time it was a buying opportunity.

Hurricane Irma is about to hit South Florida after tearing apart a bunch of caribbean islands.

Yet, volatility is near all-time lows with each spike of volatility just coming down — even as we are already in September — a historically volatile month with Congress back in session and with threats that the government could shut down due to Trump-related issues.

Yet, the market continues to march higher.
