The previous week was rather gloomy for the American stock market, key stock indices demonstrated a sharp fall. This was the worst start of the week on which the Thanksgiving Day falls since 1994 for the Dow Jones Index and since 1982 – for the S&P 500 Index. The reason behind this was a lower likelihood of constructive negotiations on trade issues between the US and China. Investors are less and less positive that heads of the two countries will reach a meaningful agreement at the 2018 G20 Buenos Aires Summit in late November.
