Trade tirade! Markets, basking in the warmth of Wednesday’s interest rate cut, got the rug pulled out from under them with a new threat of tariffs on China. Stocks spent the first half of yesterday’s session in the black until Trump’s surprise tariff tweet sent them into a tailspin pushing indexes...

You can’t always get what you want…. Stocks were routed by comments made by Chairman Powell just minutes after the Fed lowered the key interest rate. Traders sold off on fears that there may be no more rate cuts in the future.

Game day. Stocks slid yesterday ahead of today’s big announcement as traders learned, via Twitter, that all may not be so good in Shanghai. The Fed will drive markets today, but yesterday it was all earnings and Trump… and maybe a touch of Brexit.

The waiting game. Equities had a mixed day as traders awaited a Fed decision and a surge of economic and corporate data. With little domestic data to ponder traders turned their eyes overseas and were not sure they liked what they saw.

On high but shaky ground. Stocks were driven higher Friday on good earnings and strong economic data. Despite not all of Friday’s news being good, stock traders forged ahead to new highs for some indexes.

Rate debate. Stocks sold off yesterday on disappointing earnings and ECB ambiguity. Earnings misses after Wednesday’s close overshadowed positive ones in yesterday morning’s pre-bell procession and the ECB failed to provide true clarity on rates, causing markets to sell off.

Forward march!! Stocks closed mixed yesterday with the S&P500 reaching a new all time high as investors sorted through a flood of mixed earnings. Weak economic data and Department of Justice inquiries were ignored with a yawn by unstoppable bulls.
