That small move down could turn into a bigger one relatively easily. Nevertheless, seemingly encouraging data about an end to the trade war was enough to send the...
By Lizzy Gurdus, CNBC Trick or treat? With stocks already down more than 2% for October, investors might be wondering which side of the spooky settlement they'll get as they position their portfolios for the end of the year. But the post-Halloween period is likely to bring more treats than tricks for equities, said Stephen Suttmeier, chief equity technical strategist...
