| News: What you need to know about the markets | | | | | | | Stocks maintain momentum; CEOs ditch Trump; Retailers report | By Alanna Petroff
Tuesday, August 15th, 4:46am | | | | 1. Relief rally continues: U.S. stocks are poised to continue rising after a big relief rally on Monday. | | | | Wall Street's fears about the North Korea nuclear crisis have faded for now, giving stocks a boost. | | | | State media reported that North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has finished reviewing a plan to fire four missiles off Guam, and has opted to wait to see what the "foolish Yankees" do next, apparently putting the onus on President Trump to make the next move. | | | | Easing concerns about a nuclear standoff helped push the S&P 500 up by 1% on Monday. The tech-heavy Nasdaq index rallied by 1.3% and the Dow Jones industrial average climbed 0.6%. | | | | U.S. stock futures are currently pointing up. European markets are mixed in early trading, while most Asian markets ended Tuesday with modest gains. | | | | 2. CEOs ditching Trump: Intel CEO Brian Krzanich became the third top business leader to step down from President Trump's manufacturing council. | | | | He followed the chiefs of Merck and Under Armour, who announced their decisions earlier Monday amid the fallout over Trump's response to violence at a white nationalist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia. | | | | "I resigned because I want to make progress, while many in Washington seem more concerned with attacking anyone who disagrees with them," Krzanich wrote in a blog post. | | | | Before the Bell newsletter: Key market news.
