The index was supported by a rally in technology stocks, which rose 1.2% on the day. The mood was upbeat after Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said over the weekend that the Trump administration would delay implementing tariffs on Chinese goods and “put the trade war on hold” while working out details of a deal between the countries.

U.S. economy given boost from factories even as housing cooled in April: Chicago Fed
The numbers: A measure of the U.S. economy from the Chicago Federal Reserve ticked higher in April from March as a stronger performance at factories and a healthy job market offset housing’s weaker contribution. The Chicago Fed’s index of national economic activity was a positive 0.34 last month, gaining from the upwardly revised positive 0.32 in March, though weaker than a downwardly revised positive 0.73 in February. The Chicago Fed index is a weighted average of 85 economic indicators, designed so that zero represents trend growth and a three-month average below negative 0.70 suggests a recession has begun.

Amazon: Why Best Buy Should Still Be Afraid
“We think that Amazon’s magnanimity may be short-lived, and expect the online juggernaut to ultimately revert to price competition at holiday, which may compress Best Buy’s gross margins,” they wrote, while maintaining an “underperform” rating and a $48 price target—well below current prices, which would leave it back near December 2016 levels—on the stock. The deal, the analysts wrote, could be a short-term win for Best Buy with long-term consequences that benefit Amazon, a Barron’s Next 50 stock—even as investors have credited Best Buy with reviving itself thanks to improved service and competitive pricing, among other things. “We view this as an attempt by Amazon to convert the segment of Best Buy’s customer base that does not currently shop online,” they wrote.
