The S&P 500 and Toronto are each down about 1% as the market continues to be concerned about escalating trade tensions and actions.

Obviously, with the U.S. market still trading at a high P/E markets could certainly continue to go down. I have never been able to predict such things. Instead, my strategy has been to react to lower prices by adding to positions. At the same time, I try not to be in a hurry in doing that.

This should already largely be reflected in stock prices. But the actual results if they are very positive could give a boost to markets.
