US markets end lower as Trump’s trade threats rattle sentiments

26 Jun 2018 Evaluate

The US markets ended sharply lower on Monday with the losses on over one percent as fresh threats from President Donald Trump against U.S. trading partners underlined how the risk of protectionist policies has not left the market. Trump said that the United States is insisting that all countries that have placed artificial Trade Barriers and Tariffs on goods going into their country, remove those Barriers & Tariffs or be met with more than Reciprocity by the U.S.A. Trade must be fair and no longer a one way street. This may be aimed at the European Union, which recently began implementing tariffs on $3.2 billion in U.S. imports. Trump responded by threatening 20% tariffs on European cars entering the U.S. Sentiment further dampened as Trump plans to bar several Chinese companies from making investments in U.S. tech. the administration wants to block additional technology exports to China. Both measures are expected to be announced by the end of the week.

Besides, traders have largely shrugged off report from the Commerce Department showing a bigger than expected rebound in new home sales in the month of May. The Commerce Department said new home sales spiked by 6.7 percent to an annual rate of 689,000 in May after plunging by 3.7 percent to a revised rate of 646,000 in April. Street had expected new home sales to climb by 1.5 percent. The bigger than expected increase in new home sales was on account of a surge in home sales in the South, which shot up by 17.9 percent to a rate of 409,000. However, the Chicago Fed national activity index for May fell to -0.15 in May from +0.42 in April.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average lost 328.09 points or 1.33 percent to 24252.80, the S&P 500 declined 37.81 points or 1.37 percent to 2717.07 and the Nasdaq dropped by 160.81 points or 2.09 percent to 7532.01.
