NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / March 13, 2018 / U.S. markets were mixed Mondays as concerns over a potential trade war overshadowed Friday's jobs data. The Dow Jones Industrial Average declined 0.62 percent to close at 25,178.61 and the S&P 500 Index was down 0.13 percent to close at 2,783.02. The Nasdaq Composite Index jumped 0.36 percent to close at a record 7,588.32. President Trump has implemented tariffs of 25 percent on imported steel imports and 10 percent on imported aluminum.

"It's a growing concern that a mistake in trade policy could be as big as a mistake in monetary policy," said Art Hogan, chief market strategist at B. Riley FBR.
