US markets end mostly lower on Monday

19 Jun 2018 Evaluate

The US markets ended mostly in red on Monday as escalating trade tensions between the U.S. and China weighed on investors’ appetite for risk. The weakness on the markets reflected lingering concerns about a global trade war after the U.S. and China announced plans to impose tariffs on billions of dollars’ worth of imported goods. President Donald Trump announced plans to impose tariffs on $50 billion worth of Chinese goods last Friday, leading China to announce plans to impose tariffs on 545 products imported from the U.S.  The move triggered China to retaliate, with Beijing announcing its own selection of duties on U.S. goods. The Chinese State Council's commission on tariffs and customs stated that a 25 percent tariff would occur in early July on $34 billion of U.S. products. Traders expressed concerns the new tariffs announced by the U.S. and China could negatively affect global economic growth.

On the U.S. economic front, the National Association of Home Builders released a report showing an unexpected deterioration in homebuilder confidence in the month of June. The report said the NAHB/Wells Fargo Housing Market Index dipped to 68 in June from 70 in May. The street had expected the index to come in unchanged. The unexpected drop by the housing market index reflected one-point decreases by all three of the components that make up the index. The NAHB said the index measuring current sales conditions fell to 75, the component gauging expectations in the next six months dropped to 76, and the metric charting buyer traffic edged down to 50.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average declined 103.01 points or 0.41 percent to 24987.47 and the S&P 500 was down by 5.91 points or 0.21% to 2773.75, while the Nasdaq added 0.65 points or 0.01 percent to 7747.02.
