Today’s Research Reports on Trending Tickers: Intrexon and Portola Pharmaceuticals
NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / April 3, 2018 / U.S. equities fell sharply on Monday, weighed down by losses in the technology sector and global trade concerns. The Dow Jones Industrial Average decreased 1.90 percent to close at 23,644.19, while the S&P 500 Index shed 2.23 percent to close at 2,581.88. The Nasdaq Composite Index dropped 2.74 percent to close at 6,870.12.
"Today's weakness has everything to do with China's announced tariffs. Even though they were quite small, there's a fear that this could escalate. We don't know if this could be the end as far as retaliation goes, but it seems like the trade issue is escalating into bite and not just bark," said Hank Smith, chief investment officer at Haverford Trust Co.
