Trade Strategy 8.13.18

Markets
 
U.S. stock futures point to a lower open, following other global markets lower in reaction to Turkey’s economic turmoil and fears of possible contagion. European bourses are following Friday’s sharp losses with a somewhat milder dropoff, with Germany’s DAX and the U.K.’s FTSE ~0.5% lower; in Asia, Japan’s Nikkei closed down 2% and Hong Kong’s Hang Seng slipped 1.5%.
