Wall Street holds steadier following weeks of scary swings

India Today  

U.S. stocks are holding steadier Monday, and the market’s scary roller-coaster ride from recent weeks is slowing. The calm trading may be short-lived, though, with a decision by the Federal Reserve on interest rates coming later in the week and worries continuing about President Donald Trump’s trade war. “In our view, this morning’s February retail sales report offers evidence of a limited, modest economic slowdown, rather than signaling a gathering recession,” said Jennifer Timmerman, investment strategy analyst at Wells Fargo Investment Institute. It’s a sharp turnaround for investors to talk about a possible recession after the U.S. economy closed last year running at a solid rate. That’s the precarious stage onto which Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell will step Wednesday, when he announces the Fed’s latest decision on interest rates.
