Sensitive To Development Shares on US-China Trade Talk Outperforming
US-China trade war has affected many sectors in the US. The shares, the stakes, and generally companies have faced many issues that have been the result of the trade war. There are diverse opinions regarding the trade war and the possible long-term effects o the economy, though as it has been predicted so far and as the situation shows the shares have been outperforming.
Sensitive Shares
The trade war is never good. It does not matter how low impact it has on the individual companies or the general state of the economy, it still brings some difficulties with the time. For now, despite many companies are still going strong, some of the shares of companies very sensitive to US-China trade policy hope for the best and rely on the fact that the two countries may soon reach an agreement.
Though, there still have been some of the amendments and actions going on with the US-China agreements, some of the stakes have changed drastically. The S&P 500 climbed 0.9% Thursday after President Trump said a trade deal with China was close, and The Wall Street Journal reported U.S. negotiators had offered to cancel fresh tariffs on Chinese goods that were set to take place on Sunday. For the citizens, it will most likely have the long terms effect rather than the short-terms as for the companies. The goods and the prizes of the goods is something that the US could have previously boasted with. Further steps and the moves will show if this is going to stay the same for the rest of the time as well.
Anyways at some point, the companies will have to adapt to the current reality, that is going on with the China-US relationship. This could actually improve the performance of the companies as well in the long term perspective, as they will need to opt to the reality that they have and find new partners for the development.
A few categories of stocks got an even bigger boost
One of the biggest industries, the gambling industry is also in the list of the sectors that can hardly benefit from the current state of the two countries.
Wynn Resorts Ltd. WYNN 9.47% and Las Vegas Sands Corp. LVS 4.98% rose 9.5% and 5%, respectively. The casino companies both operate resorts in Macau, a semiautonomous region of China, making them sensitive to Washington and Beijing’s trade rift.
Companies To Reflect The Situation
Chemicals companies also jumped. Shares of Dow Inc., DOW 2.54% which makes chemical products used in industries ranging from agriculture to consumer goods, added 2.5%. The company had cut its full-year spending forecast over the summer, citing the prolonged U.S.-China trade fight.
Another group getting a boost Thursday: industrial stocks. One of the key snags in the U.S. and China’s trade negotiations over the past few months has been disagreement over the level of farm purchases China should make from the U.S. A trade deal that clears the picture there stands to benefit farms and the companies that make equipment for them. Deere DE 2.43% & Co., which manufactures equipment for farmers and construction companies, rose 2.4%. Caterpillar Inc. CAT 1.93% advanced 1.9%.
Semiconductor firms, whose profits rely in part on demand from China, also outperformed the broader market. Shares of Nvidia Corp. NVDA 3.10% added 3.2%, while Micron Technology Inc. MU 3.47% rose 3.5%.
One way or another the trade war will influence the general market and the industries of both countries, though both sides should get adapted to the current sate at some point.
