The central bank thinks White House trade wars with China and other countries hurt farmers, manufacturers and exporters, slowed the U.S. economy and reduced business investment.

With the reduction in business investment, investors still need a place for money and have put it in the market. That's why the Russell 2000 doesn't mirror the Dow. Big caps are safer than small caps. S+P was inside and the Nasdaq was down.

But keep believing the Stable Genius
i’m not believing trump. i’m believing the stock market returns, published unemployment numbers, published gdp numbers. is trump
somehow getting fake numbers published?

You’re the one irrationally believing fanatics - those who simply cannot bring themselves to say anything good. because orange man bad.

i’m responding to actual facts.
