US markets edge higher on Friday amid focus on G7 Summit

09 Jun 2018 Evaluate

The US markets ended higher on Friday as traders shrugged off tensions between the U.S. and major allies as a meeting of leaders of the Group of Seven industrialized nations got under way in Canada. The summit is expected to focus on trade relations amid the ongoing dispute over President Donald Trump imposing tariffs on steel and aluminum imports from Canada, Mexico, and the European Union. Meanwhile, Trump said he is prepared to head to the meeting, arguing that the U.S. is being treated very unfairly on trade. Trump lashed out at Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and French President Emmanuel Macron. He described Trudeau as indignant for bringing up the relationship between the U.S. and Canada without mentioning Canadian tariffs on U.S. dairy products. Trump suggested Russia should be included in the meeting of major industrialized countries.

On the economic front, the wholesale inventories edged higher in the month of April, while wholesale sales saw a notable increase. The report said wholesale inventories inched up by 0.1 percent in April after rising by a revised 0.2 percent in March. The uptick in inventories matches economist estimates and represents an upward revision from the preliminary reading showing inventories were unchanged. Inventories of durable goods rose by 0.2 percent in April after climbing by 0.7 percent in March, with jumps in inventories of metals and hardware partly offset by steep drops in inventories of furniture and miscellaneous durable goods. The Commerce Department said inventories of non-durable goods came in unchanged after falling by 0.6 percent in March. Sharp increases in inventories of farm products and petroleum were offset by substantial declines in inventories of drugs, paper, and chemicals.

The S&P 500 surged 8.66 points or 0.31% to 2779.03, the Nasdaq gained 10.44 points or 0.14 percent to 7645.51 and the Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 75.12 points or 0.30 percent to 25,316.53.
