Nasdaq closes at new record as Netflix jumps, trade worries weigh on broader market, European markets close lower as bank stocks slide, Italy's FTSE MIB down 1%
The Nasdaq composite closed at an all-time high on Tuesday, led by Netflix and Amazon, while the rest of the market struggled for gains amid U.S. trade tensions. The tech-heavy index closed 0.4 percent higher as Amazon and Netflix rose 1.1 percent and 1.9 percent, respectively.
The Dow Jones industrial average fell 13 points, with Merck as the worst-performing stock in the index. The S&P 500 rose just 0.1 percent. The two indexes struggled for gains as Wall Street fretted over tensions between the United States and some of its key trading partners.
Investors also looked at developments between U.S.-China trade negotiations. The Wall Street Journal reported earlier on Tuesday — citing sources — that China would agree to buy nearly $70 billion worth of U.S. agriculture and energy products if the U.S. holds off on implementing tariffs against Chinese goods.
European markets closed lower on Tuesday, dragged down by banking stocks. Banking stocks were the worst performers, with the Royal Bank of Scotland falling to the bottom of the sector. The bank fell more than 5 percent following news that the U.K. government is to sell part of its stake for approximately £2.6 billion ($3.5 billion) — resulting in a loss as it returns the lender back to private ownership after its bailout in 2008.
Meanwhile, the U.K. government said it was willing to give Twenty-First Century Fox a provisional green light to buy Sky if it agreed to sell its Sky News channel. If Fox's bid for Sky were to be approved, that could trigger a bidding war with Comcast. Shares of Sky rose almost 0.3 percent.
