Today’s Research Reports on Trending Tickers: California Resources and Chesapeake Energy

NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / September 25, 2018 / U.S. markets closed lower Monday as trade tensions heated up. The Trump administration imposed a tariff of 10 percent on over $200 billion, which could increase to 25 percent if the two countries are unable to settle, according to L. Thomas Block, Washington policy strategist at Fundstrat Global Advisors. The Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 0.68 percent to close at 26,562.05, while the S&P 500 Index declined 0.35 percent to close at 2,919.37. The Nasdaq Composite Index rose 0.08 percent to close at 7,993.25.

“You’d expect a bit of a pullback after hitting records, and there’s also a broader question of where do we go from here, economically? There’s a fear that tariffs could bring the economy down, and it is a near-certainty that the Fed will raise rates this week. That raises the question of how much longer the recovery will last, and how much earnings will grow from here,” said chief investment strategist at Key Private Bank, Bruce McCain.
