Very little happened on the domestic front as today is Veterans Day, a market holiday, and the US stock market was closed (index futures, however, were trading) with nothing in the way of major economic reports.
The Dow advanced 0.04% or 10.25 points, ending the day at 27,691.49. Notably, Boeing lifted the index, its shares rising more than 4.5% on the news that the 737 Max jets are to resume next month. The S&P 500 declined to 3,087.01 or 0.2% on energy and utilities sector weakness. The Nasdaq fell back 0.1% closing at 8,464.28.
If anything held back the markets from advancing on this day where very little was to be expected (considering it’s a national holiday), it’s likely President Trump’s comments late last week on the status of the US-China trade deal and tariffs rollbacks plus the escalation of violence in the Hong Kong protests.
The risk of loss in the trading of stocks, options, futures, forex, foreign equities, and bonds can be substantial and is not suitable for all investors. Trading on margin or the use of leverage is not suitable for all investors and losses exceeding your initial deposit is possible. Supporting documentation is available upon request. Trading futures, options on futures, and FX involves substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for all investors. Carefully consider whether trading is suitable for you in light of your circumstances, knowledge, and financial resources and only risk capital should be used. Opinions, market data, and recommendations are subject to change at any time. The lower the margin used the higher the leverage and therefore increases your risk. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.
