Image
[hfe_template id='11223'] [ad_1] The Nasdaq scored a record closing high and the S&P 500 rose on Tuesday, while the Dow fell as investors digested a host of corporate earnings and awaited Google-parent Alphabet's results that came after the market close. Alphabet, one of the so-called "Magnificent Seven" megacap technology stocks, reported quarterly revenue that beat estimates. This is the busiest week for S&P 500 earnings in the quarter, with eyes on five of the "Magnificent Seven" companies that are reporting results.

[hfe_template id='11223'] [ad_1] China's currency and equities will bear the brunt of a protectionist shift in the U.S. and are seen trading sensitively to the election's trade and foreign policy implications. Investors say a win for Donald Trump, particularly if accompanied by a Republican sweep of Congress, is expected to squeeze the yuan and shares in export sectors. A victory for Democrat Kamala Harris is likely to result in opposite trades. Here are how investors see markets moving: DOLLAR/YUAN TO 7.3 ON RED SWEEP China's currency is tightly managed.
