Due to decreasing hopes for fresh momentum for the economy, investors have only touched US stocks on Tuesday with sharp fingers. The leading indices Dow Jones, Nasdaq and S & P 500 opened each with slight losses, after having previously closed three consecutive trading days in positive territory.

The trade dispute between the US and China, the possibility of a recession in Germany and the unrest in Hong Kong hovered over the stock market as a sword of Damocles, thats my opinion. "As long as these issues are not resolved, stocks will not skip their recent highs."
