Stocks finished lower on Wall Street Friday amid new concerns about the progress of trade talks between the U.S. and China.
The market turned lower in the afternoon after reports said a Chinese trade delegation had cut short a trip to the U.S. The selling, which erased modest early gains for the market, snapped a three-week win streak for the S&P 500. Technology stocks, consumer-focused companies and banks led the sell-off. Bond yields fell.
