NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / August 16, 2018 / U.S. markets retreated on Wednesday as ongoing trade concerns and the currency crisis in Turkey continued to take center stage. The Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 0.54 percent to close at 25,162.41, while the S&P 500 Index have fallen 0.76 percent to close at 2,818.37. The Nasdaq Composite Index shed 1.23 percent to close at 7,774.12.
"Really, everything today has been playing on the idea of the trade tensions and Turkey. Obviously crude is down today because U.S. stockpiles rose over the last week to their highest level since March 2017," said chief market strategist at RiverFront Investment Group, Kevin Nicholson.
