Crude Oil (CL) had its best day in almost a week. Up 1.3%, CL finished at $69.81 a barrel.

Traders don’t seem to care much about President Trump’s tariffs. Yesterday after the close, the President announced another 10% tariff on $200 billion worth of Chinese goods that will kick in on September 24th. And another 15% will be added in January. China responded with tariff threats of its own, but on just $60 billion worth of U.S. goods. Based on today’s rally, it looks like traders are thinking that things could be a lot worse!

Tesla (TSLA) was lower today, after reports that the company is facing a criminal investigation over Elon Musk’s August 7th tweet about the company going private. Tesla finished the day with a 3.4% loss.

General Mills (GIS) lost 7.6% after reporting disappointing sales.
