Day Traders Diary

5/14/19

Stocks rose on Tuesday, regaining some of the sharp losses from the previous session, as investors weighed the impact of the escalating trade war between the United States and China. The Dow Jones Industrial Average finished up 207 points after rallying as much as 363 points. It was the best day for the Dow since April 12 following the worst day since the start of the year. The S&P 500 advanced 0.8% to 2,834 as tech shares outperformed. The Nasdaq Composite climbed 1.1% to end the day at 7,734. A good rebound today, but the volatility is not over.
