Stocks End Higher Despite Uncertainty About Possible Powell Firing


The S&P 500 Index ($SPX) (SPY) on Wednesday closed up +0.29%, the Dow Jones Industrials Index ($DOWI) (DIA) closed up +0.47%, and the Nasdaq 100 Index ($IUXX) (QQQ) closed up +0.12%.  September E-mini S&P futures (ESU25) rose +0.33%, and September E-mini Nasdaq futures (NQU25) closed up +0.11%.

Stocks ended the day higher after President Trump denied that he intends to summarily fire Fed Chair Powell, although he left open the possibility of firing him for cause. Stocks temporarily dropped during midday after reports circulated that Mr. Trump had told Republican House members that he met with on Tuesday that he wanted to fire Mr. Powell.
