The US markets ended mostly in red on Monday amid uncertainty about a potential US-China trade deal. Traders were also likely to keep an eye on President Donald Trump's speech at the Economic Club of New York on Tuesday as well as Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell's testimony before the Congressional Joint Economic Committee on Wednesday. Trump said that discussions with China and the US were going ‘very nicely’, but cautioned that recent reports about an agreement to roll back tariffs, as a part of a preliminary trade resolution, weren’t accurate. He said ‘the level of tariff lift is incorrect’. Trump also suggested that the pace of talks were going more slowly than he would prefer and that China had more to benefit from striking a tariff resolution soon. Worsening tensions in Hong Kong after the arrest of three pro-democracy lawmakers also weighed on market sentiments. The Wall Street Journal reported that police shot and critically injured a protester as the city’s start-of-week commute was disrupted by demonstrators trying to block roads and delay trains.
However, the Dow Jones Industrial inched up with a sharp jump by shares of Boeing (BA), with the aerospace giant surging up by 4.6 percent after revealing it expects to resume deliveries of its 737 Max planes as early as next month. Besides, selling pressure waned shortly after the start of trading, with the Veterans Day holiday keeping some traders on the sidelines. The economic calendar was also quiet due to the holiday, although reports on consumer and producer prices, retail sales and industrial production may attract attention in the coming days.
Nasdaq declined 11.03 points or 0.13 percent to 8464.28 and S&P 500 lost 6.07 points or 0.20 percent to 3087.01, while Dow Jones Industrial Average was up by 10.25 points or 0.04 percent to 27691.49.
