The broad markets saw a huge sell-off in Tuesday’s session, marking one of the worst trading days of 2019 thus far. This downturn is singlehandedly the result of trade talks with China. The U.S. is planning on levying tariffs on Chinese firms, and while that might not be bad for the U.S., the retaliation and potential trade war surely would be.
Looking at the major indexes, the Dow closed down 1.8% at 25,965.09, the S&P 500 closed down 1.7% at 2,884.05, and the Nasdaq closed down 2.0% at 7,963.76.
Although this has been a negative day for the markets, some stocks managed to weather the storm and sail even higher.
