Today's Research Reports on Trending Tickers: Biocept and Myriad Genetics
NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / July 12, 2018 / U.S. equities saw losses on Wednesday, breaking a winning streak of four consecutive days, as trade tensions grew following the White House's announcement of further tariffs on Chinese goods. The Dow Jones Industrial Average declined 0.88 percent to close at 24,700.45, while the S&P 500 Index dropped 0.71 percent to close at 2,774.02. The Nasdaq Composite Index shed 0.55 percent to close at 7,716.61.
''This is different from the other trade announcements, because the size is significantly larger, and because China is unable to directly reciprocate at $200 billion because they don't import that much. It's unclear what it might do next, but it is clearly another step closer to a full-blown trade war,'' according to David Carter, chief investment officer at Lenox Wealth Advisors. ''If the trade skirmish escalates into a full-blown trade war, that will be a bigger force in the markets than the strong fundamentals,'' Carter added.
