Market update : The market busts out of 7-month long correction (27 August 2018)

Wall Street extended Friday's push into record territory on Monday, with the S&P 500 registering its second straight record close.  President Donald Trump said the U.S. has reached an agreement with Mexico to enter into a new trade deal, calling it the U.S.-Mexico trade pact.  With a U.S.-Mexico deal in place, Canada will now come to the negotiating table as the three nations look to fully replace their three-way NAFTA deal.
