Aug 16 - Global shares pushed higher on Friday, adding to weekly gains, after encouraging U.S. economic data helped soothe fears of a recession in the world's largest economy.
The VIX U.S. stock volatility index , broadly considered the market's fear gauge, sat at benign levels of about 15 after hitting a four-year high of 65 early last week. On Friday, a survey showed that U.S. consumer sentiment rose in August, driven by developments in the U.S. presidential race, while inflation expectations remained unchanged over the next year and beyond.
