As the market players are aware, the equity markets are generally affected by the global macro-economic environment and by the news related to the trade battle between the US and China. However, considering the present scenario, it can be said that the equity markets in the United States are getting influenced by the news related to Huawei Technologies.
The trade battle between the US and China can disrupt the global growth momentum which might prompt the market players to sell their holdings in the equity shares. As a result, the equity markets might witness a downward momentum. However, the settlement of trade battle can bring some stability in the equity markets and in the economic environment. The geopolitical factors play a crucial role in the movement of the stock markets and a rise in the geopolitical worries can impact the momentum of global stock markets. Yesterday (i.e. May 21, 2019), Dow Jones Industrial Average ended the session in green as the index witnessed a rise of 25,877.33 which implies a rise of 197.43 points or 0.77% on an intraday basis. On the same day, S&P 500 got closed at 2,864.36 which reflects an increase of 24.13 points or 0.85% on an intraday basis.
