Thursday’s Factors and Events
Edge of your seat or under your seat may both be good spots to watch the U.S.-China trade talk-show getting under way Thursday.
That’s judging by the stream of conflicting news reports that have been whipping markets around, such as one report saying the Chinese would bail early, briefly wiping 300 points off Dow futures late Wednesday. Wall Street looks like it is heading for a weaker open, with many investors no doubt ready to hang tight in what promises to be a news heavy couple of days ahead.
And then earnings season kicks off next week with some big banks. Before you know it, we’re hitting the holidays and maybe some uneasy flashbacks to last year’s December stock meltdown.
