Trade fears continued to weighed on US equity markets - Dow down -196-points or -0.80% to extend its losing streak into an eighth consecutive session (and take the index below its 50-day moving average), with Boeing Co (down -1.50%) and Caterpillar Inc (-2.52%) once again among the worst performing index constituents. If the Dow extends the losing streak to nine sessions tonight AEST, it will match the longest losing streak since 1978, according to data from WSJ Market Data Group.
