FYI: U.S. stocks retreated Monday as investors once again fretted over trade-policy uncertainty as Washington prepared to press ahead with tariffs on $200 billion in Chinese imports even as China hinted at a new round of retaliations.
So far, the U.S. stock market has managed to hold its ground and remain near all-time highs, in part because trade developments have been incremental and the economic impact on the U.S. has so far been minimal, analysts said. Even with Monday’s decline, the S&P 500 is off less than 1% from a record.
It was a mixed bag for the S&P 500 Sectors. Consumer Staples, Energy, , Materials, Real Estate, and Utilities were up, while Communication Services, Consumer Discretionary, Financials, Industrials, Healthcare, Technology, posted a negative day.

Ted
