The stock market trading session began with each of the eleven S&P 500 index sectors expanding traction in an energy-driven trade agenda ahead of Trump's lunchtime address at the Economic Club of New York. Amidst many conditions, Trump said tariffs on Chinese goods would go up 'considerably' if a trade agreement does not get done, though there was nothing in Trump's speech that caught the market by surprise.
