While a significant portion of S&P 500 companies have surpassed earnings expectations, many are lowering their guidance due to potential risks associated with tariffs. Trade tensions remain a concern, with the Treasury Secretary emphasizing the need for China to ease these tensions.
- In Monday’s regular session, the Dow posted gains of 0.28%.
