Stocks Inch Into The Red To Close Volatile Day
The key word on Wall Street today is "uncertainty", as traders consider yesterday's Fed decision and following commentary, as well as President Trump's trade policy. Stocks struggled for direction in the afternoon despite the Dow and Nasdaq boasting triple-digit leads midday, and after a rocky last few minutes of trading, all three major indexes finished modestly lower.
OIL PRICES CONTINUE RISE
Oil prices rose for the second day as tensions rise in the Middle East. April-dated West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude rose $1.10, or 1.6%, to end at $68.26 a barrel.
Gold futures rose 0.1% to settle at $3,043.80 per ounce.
