Wall Street is Flat today...



Wall Street's main indexes rose on Monday as U.S. President Donald Trump eased his stance on trade with China, calming investor nerves after an intense feud between the world's top two economies last week sent stocks tumbling.
Shares of tariff-sensitive companies rose in response, with Apple Inc's (O:AAPL) 2% gain boosting technology stocks (SPLRCT), while a 1.1% rise in Boeing Co (N:BA) lifted the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJI).
Chipmakers, which heavily rely on China for their revenue, rose, with the Philadelphia Semiconductor index (SOX) adding 1.2%.
Trump said on Monday Beijing had contacted Washington overnight to say it wanted to return to the negotiating table, adding that talks between the two countries were "more meaningful" than any time.
The U.S. president also said he was confident that China was sincere about wanting a trade deal with the United States. If you are impatiently trying to force trades, it is always best to either "set and forget "the trade and walk away with targets and stops in place or simply take the day off.  Even the markets are slow and sideways it is still important to keep a trading journal or trade log, even for practice accounts to hold you accountable for WHY ( the reason you got into the trade)  

It is always important to keep a record of your trade, even if you are just practicing demo account.  See Erica Villalon TradingBlog

Fed Keeps Rates Steady, but leaves Door Open for a rate cut....

6/19/19 The Federal Reserve kept interest rates unchanged Wednesday, but signaled it was prepared to lean toward a more dovish stance as uncertainties in its growth outlook have increased. The Federal Open Market Committee kept the fed funds rate in a range of  2.25% to 2.5%. . In a sign that the Fed is laying the groundwork for more accommodative policies, the central bank ditched "patient" from its policy language and said it would "act as appropriate to sustain the expansion." "The Committee continues to view sustained expansion of economic activity, strong labor market conditions, and inflation near the Committee's symmetric 2 percent objective as the most likely outcomes, but uncertainties about this outlook have increased," the Fed said.  More Daily Thoughts @  https://ericavillalontrader.wordpress.com/
