US stock market report September 24 2019
US stock market closed lower and volatility increased based on 3 major factors.
- Trump’s potential impeachment
- A lower than expected figure for consumer confidence
- Trump’s speech at the 2019 United Nations General Assembly which left open the scenario of not reaching any time soon a definite trade deal between US and China.
He took shots at China during his UN address today, accusing the nation of breaking promises to the international community to “adopt promised reforms.”
