Monday’s Factors and Events
U.S. stock index futures fell ahead of Monday’s open as the trade war between the U.S. and China escalated with further tariffs and the cancellation of trade talks between the two countries is cancelled.
The Wall Street Journal first reported late Friday that China had cancelled talks with the U.S. on trade as both countries impose tariffs on billions of dollars worth of their goods. The two sides were set to meet in order to dial back tensions, but the Journal reported that China rescinded a proposal to send two delegations to Washington. Other news outlets matched The Journal’s reporting throughout the weekend.
