FRIDAY’S FACTORS AND EVENTS

Stocks are coming off a strong Wednesday session that saw encouraging trade news take precedence over the recent impeachment frenzy.

It makes sense that the market would reverse a bit after yesterday’s rally in this uncertain environment, especially following a news report stating that the U.S. probably won’t be extending the waiver that allows its companies to sell to Huawei.

On the other hand, China’s Foreign Minister Wang Yi had some nice things to say about the US showing goodwill in negotiations and that it could yield results at the bargaining table if it continues.
