Stocks Fall on Heightened Trade Worry; Euro Climbs: Markets Wrap
Miners and energy producers led the retreat in the Stoxx Europe 600 Index, while futures on the Dow Jones, Nasdaq and S&P 500 indexes were all in the red as Asian shares dropped across the board.

Sentiment in financial markets has been fragile in recent weeks as traders gauge whether the Fed could slow its tightening path as trade war fears linger.

Visteon stock downgraded at Goldman Sachs
Analysts at Goldman Sachs on Monday downgraded shares of Visteon Corp. to sell from neutral, saying they believe the auto supplier will continue to be behind its peers amid headwinds for the industry and higher exposure to Ford Motor Co. "Further, with products leveraged more toward hardware/middleware and (autonomous-vehicle) efforts uncertain/longer off, we see VC as a less likely take-out candidate," the Goldman analysts said. Visteon was spun off Ford in 2000. Shares fell 7% on Monday and are down 50% for the year, which compares with declines of 2.6% each for the S&P 500 index and the Dow Jones Industrial Average.

With conflicting signals, market is a hybrid of a bull and a bear
All year, the market has been consumed with the question of how much profit growth and the economy will slow in 2019 — and whether the Fed would hasten the end of this cycle with too much tightening. Wall Street strategists, who typically forecast stocks to rise 7 percent to 10 percent as a group as a new year approaches, now are growing more cautious. From a contrarian perspective, it's possibly quite good for stocks that sell-side handicappers are gloomier.

COLUMN-Tightening U.S. financial conditions to end Fed cycle. And soon: McGeever
U.S. financial conditions are tightening, a potent mix of a strong dollar, weak stock markets and flat yield curve squeezing the availability of global money that will bring to an end the Fed's rate-hiking cycle sooner rather later. By some measures, conditions are tighter now than they have been for years and money markets are reacting accordingly. The more financial conditions tighten, the less the Fed needs to raise rates.

Action camera maker GoPro to move production of U.S.-bound cameras out of China over tariffs
Action camera maker GoPro Inc. said Monday it is planning to move production of all U.S.-bound cameras out of China to avoid the impact of potential tariffs. The company said it will keep production of international-bound cameras in China. "Today's geopolitical business environment requires agility, and we're proactively addressing tariff concerns by moving most of our US-bound camera production out of China," Chief Financial Officer Brian McGee said in a statement. "We believe this diversified approach to production can benefit our business regardless of tariff implications." McGee said GoPro owns its own production equipment, while partners provide manufacturing facilities, "so we expect to make this move at relatively low cost." GoPro shares were down 0.4% in early trade and have fallen 34.6% in 2018, while the S&P 500 has fallen 1.5%.

Plummeting stock prices in recent months have mostly outpaced a simultaneous decline in earnings expectations, presenting potential opportunities to buy beaten down stocks. Since Apple's November forecast for a weaker-than-expected holiday shopping quarter and other reports of sluggish demand for iPhones, analysts have cut estimates for the Cupertino, California-based company's December-quarter net income by almost $1 billion.

UPDATE: Axsome Therapeutics shares soar 24% premarket on positive trial of Alzheimer's therapy
Shares of Axsome Therapeutics Inc. surged about 24% premarket Monday, after the biotech, which specializes in therapies for central nervous system disorders, reported positive results in an interim analysis of a trial of a treatment for the agitation associated with Alzheimer's disease. An independent data monitoring committee (IDMC) recommended continuing the Phase 1/2 trial of AXS-05 and did not indicate any safety concerns. The company intends to follow the committee's recommendation. "We anticipate that implementation of the IDMC's recommendations may provide greater flexibility to our operating plans and timelines which we will evaluate in the coming weeks," Chief Executive Herriot Tabuteau said in a statement. Roughly 70% of Alzheimer's patients suffer from agitation, which can be highly upsetting for patients and caregivers. There is currently no approved treatment for the condition. Axsome shares have fallen 47% in 2018, while the S&P 500 has fallen 1.5%.
