"Recap July 26"

Another blistering rally left the S&P 500 higher by nearly 2% for the week and 21% year-to-date, as the bulls can seemingly do no wrong at the moment.  Gold managed to eke out a modest gain and WTI crude held at $56 a barrel, and Treasury yields inched lower.  The VIX closed just above 12, its lowest weekly finish since April.
