8:30 AM – MORNING MARKET UPDATE & WATCH LIST
[dropcap]F[/dropcap]or what was the first trading day of 2020, the Dow closed higher by +330 points, the S&P gained +27 points, and the Nasdaq added +120 points.
QUOTE OF THE DAY:
“Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start today and make a new ending.”
– Maria Robinson
Those gains, however, look likely to be wiped out with today’s opening bell as stock futures are sharply lower after U.S. airstrikes on Iraq killed an Iranian general.
All three of the major U.S. averages fell with the Dow Jones Industrial Average off nearly -300 points as investors sought the safety of gold and bonds.
Markets in Europe are down in early trading, following stocks in Asia.
