US markets bounced back in style on Friday, erasing their losses for the week after in line data from China allayed concerns about a further slowing of global growth and banks advanced after JPMorgan released earnings, looking like it has healed itself. Though, on the economy front the data remained mixed, Labor Department report showed US producer prices unexpectedly rose 0.1 percent in June, against expectation of a decline of 0.5 percent. On the other hand, the Thomson Reuters/University of Michigan Surveys of Consumers preliminary reading on the overall index on consumer sentiment fell to 72.0 from 73.2 in June. But the markets rallied on data showing growth in China slowed for a sixth straight quarter to 7.6 percent, better than feared.
