Today's Research Reports on Trending Tickers: Universal Display and Microchip Technology

ACCESSWIRE

NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / August 10, 2018 / U.S. markets finished mostly lower on Thursday, as broader market was dragged lower by weak performance from the industrial and energy sector matched with ongoing trade tension between U.S. and China. The Dow Jones Industrial Average decreased 0.29 percent to close at 25,509.23, while the S&P 500 Index fell 0.14 percent to close at 2,853.58. The Nasdaq Composite Index climbed 0.04 percent to close at 7,891.78, posting its 8th consecutive daily gain.

"Things are looking good in the U.S. in terms of earnings and data, but things aren't as rosy if you look to China, emerging markets or Europe. Weakness in those regions could eventually become a headwind for the U.S.," said Suzanne Hutchins, senior portfolio manager of Dreyfus Global Real Return Fund. "The U.S. market seems to be shrugging off any sort of risk right now, since the S&P 500 is near a record and volatility is low. We think that's wrong, as trade would become quite challenging for the global economy," she added.
