Profit Growth: Wall Street and Trade War

profit growth: There are three primary reasons 1 A trade war between the U.S. and China that drags on with no real path to resolution; 2 Bond market yield curves becoming inverted; and 3 Slower corporate profit growth, according to The Toronto Star. If the focus were solely on the actual economy, the mood on Wall Street might be markedly better. Still, questions remain about why equities are so volatile. A rebound in tech shares helped cut stock losses to a mere 0.15 per cent. It doesn't matter than only a small portion of the curve has inverted, with yields on five-year Treasury notes falling below those on three-year notes. BRYAN R.
