Yahoo Finance Today’s Research Reports on Trending Tickers: Exact Sciences and Exelixis
NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / April 10, 2018 / U.S. markets rallied in early trading Monday on the strength of technology stocks and the easing of trade relations between the U.S. and China. However, most of the day's gains were lost in the final minutes of trading following news that FBI raided President Trump's personal lawyer's office. The Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 0.19 percent to close at 23,979.10, while the S&P 500 Index rose 0.33 percent to close at 2,613.16. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite Index jumped 0.51 percent to close at 6,950.34. All of the FANG (Facebook, Amazon, Netflix and Google's parent company Alphabet) saw gains of over 1.0 percent.
"Right now, investors are learning how Trump operates in negotiating. He made an initial stance, trying to get the other side to cave in a bit, but recent commentary toward China has been more reserved and friendly, which is why we're higher today," said Sam Stovall, chief investment strategist of U.S. equity strategy at CFRA, according to CNBC.
