Major US stock indexes rose slightly, as the rise in prices for Microsoft Corporation's shares helped win back the morning losses due to Trump's statements about the possible introduction of additional tariffs on Chinese imports, which cast doubt on the likelihood of a quick resolution of the trade conflict with China.
Recall, in an interview with the Wall Street Journal, Donald Trump stated that it is “extremely unlikely” that he will accept China’s proposal not to raise duties on Chinese imports worth $ 200 billion from the current 10% to 25%. Moreover, he announced the possible imposition of additional duties in the amount of $ 267 billion if the deal with China is not concluded during negotiations with the Chinese leader at the G20 summit, which will be held November 30 - December 1 in Buenos Aires, Argentina. "I intend to additionally introduce duties on goods worth $ 267 billion if the transaction is not concluded," at a rate of 10% or 25%, he said.
Comments by the Deputy Chairman of the Federal Reserve, Clarida also helped the stock market recover from its morning decline. Clarida said that the Central Bank is “much closer” to a neutral rate than it was in December 2015, when the Fed decided for the first time since the financial crisis to raise interest rates.
The focus of investors was also the Conference Board report on consumer confidence in the United States. According to the report, the American consumer confidence index fell in November after it registered an improvement in October. The index now stands at 135.7 (1985 = 100), compared with 137.9 in October. The current situation index rose from 171.9 to 172.7, and the expectations index fell from 115.1 last month to 111.0 this month.
Most of the components of DOW finished trading in positive territory (22 out of 30). The growth leader was Verizon Communications (VZ, + 2.55%). Outsider were United Technologies Corp. (CVX, -4.14%).
Most of the S & P sectors have shown a boost. The growth leader was the utility sector (+ 0.7%). The conglomerate sector dropped the most (-1.0%).

In their 2019 outlook released Tuesday, Credit Suisse analysts said the Swiss National Bank is "likely to remain on hold until the ECB starts to raise rates," and that the ECB won't start until the second half of next year. That's a reversal from June, when Credit Suisse expected the SNB to raise rates in the first quarter of 2019, before the ECB. "We underestimated the caution of the SNB," said Credit Suisse's chief economist Oliver Adler, explaining the reason for this change. The euro last trades at 1.1314 Swiss francs, little changed from Monday. - via WSJ
The survey of 104 firms, of which 47 were retailers, showed sales volumes grew at a pace broadly in line with the long-run average in the year to November. Retailers expect sales volumes to expand at a roughly similar pace in the year to December. Orders placed on suppliers recovered in the year to November, following a fall in October, and are expected to grow at a similar pace next month. However, sales remained below average for the time of year, although to a lesser degree than last month.
Federal Reserve officials are moving into a more unpredictable phase of policy-making after two years of removing economic stimulus in regular, quarterly intervals.
They will be deciding whether and when to raise interest rates more on the basis of the latest signs of economic vigor -- such as in inflation, unemployment and growth -- and less on forecasts of how the economy is expected to perform in the months and years to come, they've indicated in interviews and public comments.
This could mean increased uncertainty for markets about the likely path of interest rates more than a few months or even weeks ahead.

Bitcoin slumped 6% Monday, continuing a steep slide and bucking a modest rebound in stocks and oil.
"Bitcoin's value is always driven by the intensity of demand and supply, " says Edith Yeung, a partner at 500 Startups, an early-stage venture fund. "If the miners stop mining, bitcoin will not function...and the overall market will lose confidence. If there is no confidence, people will freak out and sell even more."
