Dow is Down 670 Points Marking One of the Biggest Single-Day Drops in American Financial History
The Dow closed down around 670 points, the biggest drop in two years. John Petrides is the Managing Director and Portfolio Manager at Point View Wealth Management, Inc. Petrides joins Cheddar to help explain why the market experienced such a drop today.
Petrides says interest rates could have had a part of the drop.
Petrides says this should be treated as a buying opportunity. When it comes to which sectors to focus on, Petrides thinks there will be more activity for the banking and financial sector. He also thinks the healthcare sector will also be strong as the world population continues to age.
American businesses that rely on Chinese goods are reacting with muted relief after the U.S. and China agreed to pause their exorbitant tariffs on each other’s products for 90 days. Many companies delayed or canceled orders after President Donald Trump last month put a 145% tariff on items made in China. Importers still face relatively high tariffs, however, as well as uncertainty over what will happen in the coming weeks and months. The temporary truce was announced as retailers and their suppliers are looking to finalize their plans and orders for the holiday shopping season. They’re concerned a mad scramble to get goods onto ships will lead to bottlenecks and increased shipping costs.
