What Happened in the Stock Market Today
Major benchmarks eked out another gain on Friday despite starting the session in negative territory after President Trump insisted the U.S. has not agreed to phase out existing tariffs on imported goods from China. The news came despite confirmations yesterday from both Chinese and American negotiators stating otherwise as the two countries work toward striking a trade deal.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJINDICES: ^DJI) edged just into positive territory at the close, while the S&P 500 (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC) rose roughly 0.3%.
