How did I miss that?
"The sharp turn in the markets followed a strong rally on Monday fueled by optimism over the news that President Donald Trump and his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping had agreed at the G-20 summit over the weekend to a temporary, 90-day stand-down in the two nations' escalating trade dispute.
But the market's optimism faded Tuesday amid published reports questioning the scant details out of the Trump-Xi talks and growing skepticism that Beijing will yield to U.S. demands anytime soon.
"'The actual amount of concrete progress made at this meeting appears to have been quite limited," Alec Phillips and other economists at Goldman Sachs wrote in a research note.
Delwiche echoed those doubts.
'The sense is that there's less and less agreement between the two sides about what actually took place,' Delwiche said. 'There was a rally in the expectation that something had happened, the problem is that something turned out to be nothing.'"

People still gotta eat but they don't need to buy planes,trains,automobiles, 'puter chips, dozers etc. The Chinese are getting US grown grain but thru different channels and the market is coming to realize this.

Monday started out over bought. Tuesday was over sold. As I said, equities are subject to the whims of Trump and it will be a swing traders dream come true.
The underlying economy remains strong and over the long term, equities will reflect that.. But I will admit that I slept better Monday night than I did Tuesday night.
