| News: What you need to know about the markets | | | | | | | Google dumps Huawei; Markets stutter; Powell speech | | By Julia Horowitz, CNN Business | | | | 1. Tech war: Rising tensions between the United States and China are starting to hit home for more top tech companies. | | | | Google is cutting back on its business with Huawei following an order from the Trump administration barring American companies from selling to the Chinese tech firm without a US government license. | | | | Huawei relies on Google's Android operating system for its devices, as well as the Google Play app store. | | | | "We are complying with the order and reviewing the implications," a Google spokesperson said Monday. | | | | The restrictions deal a huge blow to Huawei's ambitions to overtake Samsung as the world's biggest smartphone maker. Huawei phones are much less attractive outside China without Google services, according to analysts. | | | | The news is likely to feed investor unease about the US-China trade war as negotiations between Washington and Beijing appear to stall. Traders will continue to keep a close eye on the yuan, which was little changed Monday. The currency's steep slide against the dollar in recent weeks could complicate talks further. | | | | 2. Markets stutter: US stock futures point slightly lower after concluding last week on a disappointing note. | | | | The Dow is set to fall more than 30 points when US markets open, or 0.1%. The S&P 500 is on track for a similar percentage drop, while the Nasdaq could shed 0.5%. | | | | Trade anxiety continues to weigh on stocks globally. European markets opened lower. Britain's FTSE 100 index dipped about 0.4%. France's CAC 40 index fell 0.9%, while Germany's DAX index dropped 0.6% in early trading. | | | | That follows a mixed trading session in Asia, where Hong Kong's Hang Seng index dropped 0.6% and the Shanghai Composite index shed 0.4%. Meanwhile, Japan's Nikkei index climbed 0.2%. | | | | Stocks in India jumped more than 3.8% after exit polls indicated that incumbent Prime Minister Narendra Modi could be on track for a second term. | | | | The Dow closed down 0.4% on Friday. The S&P 500 fell 0.6%, and the Nasdaq lost 1%. | | | | Before the Bell newsletter: Key market news. In your inbox. Subscribe now! | | | | 3. Powell speech: Federal Reserve chair Jerome Powell will give the keynote speech at the Atlanta Fed's Financial Markets Conference on Monday at 7 p.m. ET. | | | | Investors will listen for clues that Powell could change his sit-tight approach to interest rates now that the trade fight with China is back in full swing. | | | | Powell said at the beginning of the month that board members didn't see a "strong case" for either raising or lowering interest rates. But that was before new rounds of tit-for-tat tariffs from Washington and Beijing. | | | | The Trump administration has also said it's preparing further tariffs on Chinese goods worth $300 billion, which would put duties on essentially all of the country's exports to the United States. | | | | | | | |
