NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / June 19, 2018 / U.S. markets finished mostly lower on Monday, with the Dow logging its 5th straight decline, on fears of growing trade tensions between the U.S. and China. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 0.41 percent to close at 24,987.47, while the S&P 500 Index declined 0.21 percent to close at 2,773.75. The Nasdaq Composite Index increased 0.01 percent to close at 7,747.02.

"Trade tensions with China have consistently been the biggest driver of equity volatility recently," said FTSE Russell, managing director of global markets research, Alec Young. "If the current trade skirmish with China were to escalate into a full-blown trade war, it could potentially have a materially negative impact on corporate earnings growth," Young added.
