Business conditions are at their worst level since the 2008 financial crisis, says Morgan Stanley
The gauge touched its lowest point since the 2007-08 financial crisis. Morgan Stanley’s report comes as stocks in June have mostly drifted higher in turbulent trading, with the Nasdaq Composite Index (COMP)entering correction territory on June 3, but gaining 6.3% since that point as of Friday morning trade, according to FactSet data. Swirling anxiety around the U.S.’s trade relationship with China and other major international counterparts has hurt the confidence of business leaders because the unresolved tariff battles have made it difficult for corporate chieftains to develop business strategies and forced many companies to alter their supply chains.

Stocks end slightly lower as tech shares fall, but hold weekly gains
Stocks mostly closed lower on Friday, leaving weekly gains still intact, after shares of computer chip makers came under pressure due to US-China trade tensions. The S&P 500 fell 0.2% to end around 2,887. The Dow Jones Industrial Average shed 17 points, or less than 0.1%, to finish near 26,090. The Nasdaq Composite slipped 0.5% to end around 7,797. For the week, S&P was up 0.5%, the Dow was up 0.4% and the Nasdaq was up 0.7%. Broadcom Inc. shares led the slump in tech stocks on Friday after the semiconductor manufacturer lowered its guidance for the rest of the year on late Thursday. Broadcom's stock tumbled 5.4%. Still, key equity benchmarks were propped up by expectations for the Federal Reserve to signal its plans to cut rates in the near-future at next week's meeting. In other company news, Chewy Inc. shares rose 63% after its debut IPO in the New York Stock Exchange. The pet care company's stock ended at around $36 a share.

In a baffling week, oil tankers were attacked in the Persian Gulf, America blamed Iran, and U.S. stocks rose. President Donald Trump threatened to slap sanctions on a fellow NATO member and the fourth biggest economy in the world, and the riskiest U.S. debt hit a record high. The easiest conclusion is that equity investors are betting on supportive central bankers helping juice either economic growth or asset values or both, and there’s plenty of evidence to support that.
