Stock Market Roundup, March 7: Cohn's Resignation Spooks Investors
Read MoreHide Full Article
It was another day of rocky trading on Wall Street, with a late-afternoon surge nearly erasing Wednesday morning’s losses in the Dow and S&P 500. The up-and-down trading was once again focused on President Trump’s proposed tariffs—this time sparked by the resignation of economic adviser Gary Cohn, considered by many to be one of the administration’s last remaining global-focused minds.
Wall Street continues to apprehend a potential trade war due to President Trump’s protectionist stance. The head of Trump’s National Economic Council, Gary Cohn’s resignation was a setback for world leaders. As prospect of a potential trade war looms large, investing in small-cap stocks seems judicious.
After starting the day relatively flat, shares of Advanced Micro Devices (AMD - Free Report) suddenly popped more than 8% in morning trading Wednesday. The sudden spike seems to be linked to an unsubstantiated rumor that the trendy chipmaker could be the subject of a takeover.
Lockheed Martin (LMT - Free Report) was an integral part of the first "Space Race" and is poised to be a major player in the recently reinvigorated domestic space program, which includes plans to land humans on Mars by the 2030s.
