GLOBAL MARKETS-Investors seek safety on threat of wider U.S.-China spat
Global equity markets slid on Wednesday as investors sought safety in bonds, the Japanese yen and Swiss franc amid renewed worries over the U.S.-China trade standoff after reports the United States has another Chinese tech firm in its sights. Relief over Washington's temporary relaxation of curbs against China's Huawei Technologies Co Ltd faded after reports that the White House is considering further sanctions on Chinese video surveillance firm Hikvision.

Dow ends with triple-digit loss as weak retailer earnings offset Fed minutes
U.S. stocks ended lower at the closing bell on Wednesday after a raft of weaker-than-expected earnings from retailers overshadowed the Federal Reserve's minutes where it reiterated the central bank's patient stance. The S&P 500 fell 0.3% to finish around 2,856. The Dow Jones Industrial Average retreated 101 points, or 0.4%, to end near 25,776. The Nasdaq Composite was down 0.4% to finish around 7,751. Shares of Lowe's Cos. and Nordstrom Inc. fell 9% and 12%, respectively, after both delivered worse-than-expected first-quarter earnings. The Fed's minutes from its most recent meeting showed officials were comfortable with the central bank's accommodative policies, though they were split on the outlook for interest rates. Trade tensions continued to linger in investors' horizons even as China's ambassador to the U.S. said late Tuesday Beijing was open to renewing trade negotiations.

Dallas Fed's Kaplan: 'Agnostic' whether next interest rate move will be 'up or down'
Dallas Fed President Robert Kaplan said Wednesday that he is solidly in the "patient" camp on interest rates and had no position on whether the next interest rate policy move will be to ease or tighten. Asked on the Fox Business Network if the next move by the Fed would be a rate cut, Kaplan replied: "We're basically, I think, at the right policy setting. I'm sort of agnostic at this point between about moving rates up or down." Kaplan said he would need to see something "compelling" that would cause him to end this patient stance. Financial stability concerns was one reason not to cut rates now, he said. "I'm hesitant while we're at or past full employment and the economy is running at solid rates... that adding further accommodation to the economy could create excesses and imbalances that could be painful to deal with in the years ahead," Kaplan said. While he is not a voter, Kaplan is influential given that he is a member of a small subcommittee of Fed officials that focuses on communication strategy.

Fed minutes: Voters say patient stance can last 'for some time'
The voting members of the Federal Open Market Committee seemed comfortable with their patient stance on interest rate, agreeing it could last for "some time," according to minutes of their April 30- May 1 meeting released Wednesday. Even if global economic and financial conditions improve, a wait-and-see approach was warranted, the officials said. Officials were split on the outlook for interest rates. A few officials said there might be a need for higher rates if the economy evolves as they thought. But others thought higher productivity might mean there was more economic slack than the low unemployment rate might suggest. Several others expressed worry about the risk of low inflation readings leading to lower expectations of future inflation, but did not call for a rate cut. Many said that the recent low inflation readings were transitory. In addition to interest-rate policy, there was a lengthy discussion, but no decision, about what types of Treasurys the central bank should hold once its balance sheet stops shrinking.

US STOCKS-Wall St edges lower on fresh trade concerns; Qualcomm drags techs
U.S. stocks dipped on Wednesday, as reports that Washington could impose sanctions on another Chinese company heightened trade worries, while a slump in Qualcomm shares pressured the technology sector.
