The Breakfast Briefing: Dow Fights For Direction As Traders Weigh North Korea’s Latest Posturing

edited May 2018 in The Bullpen
FYI: U.S. stocks looked set to struggle for direction on Wednesday, with fresh North Korea worries appearing to weigh on sentiment.

Pyongyang overnight signaled its leader, Kim Jong Un, might pull out of next month’s summit with President Donald Trump if the U.S. insists on denuclearization for the isolated nation.

The equity market has scored significant gains so far this month, but it suffered a sizable drop on Tuesday, as the Dow halted an eight-session winning streak.
