US equity markets mixed as investors weighed various reports on the potential for a US-China trade deal ahead of the weekend's G-20 summit - Dow slipped -10-points, with Boeing Co (down -2.9%) the major drag after the Federal Aviation Administration said on Wednesday (26 June) that it has found an issue with the 737 MAX that the manufacturer must address before it lifts the national grounding order. Goldman Sachs Group Inc (up +1.17%), J.P. Morgan Chase and Co (+0.33%) and Bank of America Corp (+1.07%) gained ahead of the latest annual stress test from the Federal Reserve. Credit Suisse was the only Wall Street firm that didn’t sail through and its US division has to fix problems the Fed found in its capital planning processes by 27 October. No bank failed the 2019 round of the Fed’s stress test, the second time that’s happened since it began the annual review in 2009. The broader S&P500 added +0.38%, snapping a four session slide. Ford Motor Co gained 2.93% after officials announced 12K job cuts in Europe by the end of 2020 and stated that its European operations were on track to improve by the end of 2019. The NASDAQ +0.78%. Lyft Inc gained +3.65%, after news that autonomous vehicle firm Waymo, which is a subsidiary of Google-parent Alphabet Inc (down -0.35%) has officially launched a program to make some self-driving minivans available for Lyft customers. The program is only available in a small area outside Phoenix. It is a shortened trading week in the US next week, with the Independence Day holiday on Thursday (4 July).
