NEW YORK (AP) — U.S. stocks are holding steadier on Wednesday, a day after leaping back within a few good days’ worth of gains from its all-time high.
The S&P 500 was up 0.2% in early trading. It’s sitting 3.5% below its record after charging higher amid hopes that the worst of the turmoil caused by President Donald Trump’s trade war may have passed. It had been roughly 20% below the mark last month.
