As the investors know, global stock markets are being affected by global macro-economic factors and events which are associated with the trade battle between the US and China. Any positive news from the trade war front favourably impacts the broader stock markets. An end to the trade battle between the US and China could be really comforting for global market players and the global economy might be positively impacted. Recently, the news got floated in the markets that the US President has delayed the tariffs on some of the Chinese goods.
If prospects of global growth come into question, market players tend to avoid making deployments towards equities and, sometimes, they even withdraw their money from their current holdings. As a result, broader stock markets witness negative momentum. On August 14, 2019, Dow Jones Industrial Average ended the session in green, as the index witnessed a rise of 372.54 points or 1.44% on an intraday basis to end the session at 26,279.91. On the same day, S&P 500 Index also ended in green by rising 43.23 points or 1.50% to end the session at 2926.32. Therefore, it can be said that, in order to bring stability in broader stock markets, the trade battle needs to end.
