Good Evening, Today it was the 1st T of the three T’s (Trump, Trade, and Tariffs) that effected trading. President Trump as anticipated pulled out of Iran Nuclear deal. The market sold off and then clawed it’s way back to break even by the close. The rebound probably had a lot to do with the fact that President Trump left the door open with Iran saying that he’d like to negotiate a new deal. Classic Trump. Comes in like a bear then softens up to encourage the other side to make a deal. Like him or hate him, he’s a tough negotiator. That pretty well sums up what happened with the market today. We’ll see if we can get a rebound tomorrow.
