WEEKLY MARKET OUTLOOK WEBINAR
PHILLIP SUMMARY
Stocks were bruised by an early afternoon Bloomberg News report that said the United States could maintain tariffs on more than US$300 billion in Chinese goods past November 2020.
The report came a day before US and Chinese representatives are set to sign a partial trade deal in which the Washington agreed not to impose additional tariffs and to reduce tariffs on about US$120 billion of goods.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average ended up 0.1 per cent at 28,939.67.
The broad-based S&P 500 dipped 0.2 per cent to 3,283.15, while the tech-rich Nasdaq Composite Index also shed 0.2 per cent to 9,251.33.
Both the S&P 500 and Nasdaq had finished at all-time highs on Monday, the latest records in a run boosted by improved US-China trade relations, central bank easing and solid US economic data.
Some investors have been expecting a pullback following the surge in recent weeks that have left the market in what analysts have called an “overbought” condition.
