Today's Research Reports on Trending Tickers: Nektar Therapeutics and Aduro BioTech

ACCESSWIRE

NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / December 19, 2018 / U.S. markets finished modestly higher on a very volatile trading day on Tuesday. The volatility was probably due to the market’s anxiety over the uncertainty in U.S.-China trade relation, growing fears of a government shutdown, a slide in oil prices and fears of the Federal Reserve’s tightening of monetary policy. The Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 0.35 percent to close at 23,675.64, while the S&P 500 Index increased 0.01 percent to close at 2,546.16. The Nasdaq Composite Index climbed 0.45 percent to close at 6,783.91.

The Chief Investment Strategist of Key Private Bank, Bruce McCain said, "I think it's anxiety about slowing economic growth and [traders] want assurance that someone's going to do something."

"Clearly, it's a time of uncertainly both here and overseas, but given the strength of the economy, it's going to take some time until the economic backdrop supports a bear market. It's about managing your anxiety and waiting long enough to find out that, hopefully, the news isn't so bad," he added.
