Weekly Commentary
Three Factors will Influence Trading Next Week

Three factors could influence trading next week: the market's reaction to the G7 falling out and the pending tariff war; the outcome of the summit meeting on Tuesday in Singapore and the FOMC meeting next week where it's expected that the Fed will raise interest rates by a further quarter point. Although the markets finished strongly on Friday, as the G7 got underway, the full extent of the disagreement between the US and the other members wasn't evident until Saturday.

The NASDAQ Composite set new all-time highs on Wednesday and again on Thursday while profit taking limited the overall gain for the week to 1.2%. The DJI fared best of the three major indexes with a gain of 2.8% and the S&P 500 gained 1.6%. Friday's less than average volume is a feature of the summer months as traders depart early for the weekend.
