All of the indices fell by more than one percent on Tuesday this week as investors continued to monitor the trade tensions between the US and China. Stocks immediately fell on Tuesday after the Trump administration placed bans on numerous Chinese government officials and companies that are tied to alleged human rights abuses. Despite a rocky start to the week, the S&P/TSX Composite Index (INDEXTSI:OSPTX) steadily rose for the remainder of the week. The Dow Jones industrial average and the S&P500 both rose 1.6 percent on Thursday thanks to rumors regarding a possible end to the US-China trade war, and reports of an Iranian tanker attack lifted oil prices.
