Dow futures up over 100 points as trade fears ebb for now
Stock futures pointed to a firmer start for Wall Street Wednesday, as worries about a U.S.-China trade war appeared to ebb for now, tempting some investors to wade into a market that took a hard hit on those concerns a day earlier. Investors were also looking ahead to comments by Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell and existing home sales data.. Dow Jones Industrial Average futures (YMU18.CBT) rose 113 points, or 0.5%, to 24,828, while S&P 500 futures (ESU18.CME) added 9.05 points, or 0.3%, to 2,775.25.

Hedge-fund boss who predicted ‘87 crash says next recession will be ‘really frightening’
Paul Tudor Jones, a hedge-fund luminary, on Monday said the next economic downturn confronted by the U.S. could be an ugly one. “We’ll have monetary policy, which will exhaust really quickly, but we don’t have any fiscal stabilizers,” Jones said. Jones’s comments come after he told CNBC last week that stock market and bond yields are set for a ‘crazy’ rise.
Reuters•1 hour agoWorld shares snap five-day losing streak on China policy easing
World stocks steadied near three-week lows on Wednesday and Chinese markets bounced after recent sharp falls as expectations grew that policy stimulus by Beijing could temper some of the impact from an escalating Sino-U.S. trade conflict. The dollar too eased off 11-month highs against a currency basket (.DXY), Wall Street looked set for a stronger opening and MSCI's all-country equity index snapped a five-day run of losses, rising 0.3 percent (.MIWD00000PUS). One catalyst appeared to be a paper from China's central bank which suggested cutting banks' reserve requirement ratios (RRR), which would boost market liquidity and loosen monetary conditions.

US stocks expected to rebound in the triple-digits, after Dow dropped almost 300 points
U.S. stock index futures turned positive ahead of Wednesday's open, as markets tried to reclaim some footing after losing significant ground in the previous session. U.S. stocks sank yesterday as trade tensions intensified, causing the Dow Jones industrial average to close down almost 300 points , having erased all of its gains for the year during the session. The gloomy mood across markets stems from Monday, when President Donald Trump requested the United States Trade Representative to identify $200 billion worth of Chinese goods for additional tariffs, at a rate of 10 percent.

These stocks can push your portfolio from good to great
Many business executives, management consultants, financial analysts, and investors have ransacked lists of thriving companies, looking for shared characteristics that explain their success. The fallacy of selecting traits after identifying successful companies is known by a variety of names, including the “Feynman Trap” and the “Texas Sharpshooter Fallacy.” This latter fallacy supposes that a self-proclaimed (Texan) marksman shoots a bullet at a blank wall and then draws a bullseye around the bullet hole. In the same way, any group of companies (great, good, or bad) will inevitably have several common characteristics.
Reuters•6 hours agoDow-ned but not out: Expulsion no body blow for GE shareholders
While the Dow index of 30 top-shelf U.S. corporations is arguably more well known, professional investors bet much more money on what happens to the S&P 500, an index in which the one-time leading U.S. company has only a tiny influence. GE's drop from the Dow will thus likely not pose a risk of wide selling pressure by indexed investment funds. "There's only a small group of investors who actually target their investing to the Dow Jones Industrial Average," said Rick Meckler, a partner at Cherry Lane Investments, a family investment office in New Vernon, New Jersey.
