IBD After the Close: "Dow Jones Futures: Trump Tariffs Slam Stock Market Rally; Square, Pinterest Among Big Earnings Movers"

From Investor's Business Daily:
6:23 PM ET
Dow Jones futures fell modestly late Thursday, along with S&P 500 futures and Nasdaq futures, extending Thursday's losses after a promising stock market rally ended abruptly when President Donald Trump announced he would impose 10% tariffs on the remaining $300 billion worth of Chinese goods, escalating the China trade war. Trump tariffs will hit the Apple iPhone and many consumer goods for the first time, prompting Apple (AAPL) to again reverse lower from a buy point. Square (SQ), Pinterest (PINS), Arista Networks (ANET), Universal Display (OLED) and Fortinet (FTNT) reported earnings late Thursday.

Square stock and Arista stock fell late, but Pinterest stock, Fortinet stock and Universal Display stock rallied. Pinterest stock and Fortinet stock were signaling moves to possible buy points.
Universal Display stock has a best-possible IBD Composite Rating of 99. Square stock has a 97 Composite Rating, with Fortinet at 93 and Arista stock at 92. Unprofitable IPO stock Pinterest has a 68 CR.
