The futures traded down big Tuesday morning as investors absorbed another day of losses on Monday. While the major indices came way off the lows that were printed early in trading Monday morning, and small cap stocks as represented by the Russell 2000 actually hit an all-time high, concerns over the potential fallout from the trade tariffs are the major issue on investors’ minds.

Some investors are reconsidering what the nine-year bull market may bring for the rest of 2018 and beyond. It has become very clear that the multiyear trend of buying pullbacks is now more vulnerable to sellers, volatility and each major news headline. Many investors are finding it harder to decide how they want their assets positioned for the longer term.
