NEW YORK, January 11, 2019 /PRNewswire/ --
U.S. markets began the second week of the new year on a positive note. The Dow Jones and S&P 500 marked five straight days
of gains, mainly revolving around trade talks between the U.S. and China. The Dow Jones gained
as much as 679.98 points or 2.91% from the week's low on Monday to the high on Wednesday. The S&P 500 Index gained 69.73
points or 2.76%, while the Nasdaq Composite gained 229.94 or 3.4% from the week's low to its high. Ongoing discussions over trade
talks, as well as interest rate hikes, worried investors previously, but current optimism revolving around the matter impacted
the market this week. However, U.S. markets opened lower on Thursday over China's declining
economic data and disappointing domestic retailer sales, which offset the Federal Reserve's announcement about its cautiousness
towards future interest rate hikes. Stocks were also pressured after U.S. President Donald Trump
walked out of a meeting with Democrats on Wednesday and may consider declaring a state of national emergency in order to build a
wall between the U.S. and Mexico. Roku Inc. (NASDAQ: ROKU), The Boeing Company (NYSE: BA),
Constellation Brands, Inc. (NYSE: STZ), Bed Bath & Beyond Inc. (NASDAQ: BBBY), Macy's Inc. (NYSE: M).
According to MarketWatch, JJ Kinahan, Chief Market Strategist at TD Ameritrade said, "Retailers are having a bad morning, and
that's obviously weighing on markets today." Regardless, investors seem to be optimistic about the U.S. and China making progress on trade negotiations, Kinahan said. "The recent selloff was all about uncertainty
over trade and growth," he noted. "As we start rolling into earnings next week there are hints and hopes that there will be more
clarity on this issue going forward."

bringing 2018 totals to 806. However, Boeing had previously forecast full-year deliveries of 810 to 815, but its suppliers had
caused shipment delays. Boeing's stock rose by 3.2% following the announcement.
Constellation Brands, Inc. (NYSE: STZ) reported its third quarter financial results on Wednesday and topped analysts'
estimates. However, shares plunged due to weaker sales in its wine and spirit segment as well as its investment in Canopy Growth
(NYSE: CGC) backfiring. For the third quarter, Constellation reported earnings per share of USD
2.37 on revenue of USD 1.97 Billion. Analysts forecast earnings per share of USD 2.06 on revenue of USD 1.91 Billion. The Company's wine and spirit segment
revenue increase minimally by 0.4% year over year to USD 762.8 Million. Constellation also said its
investment into Canopy will slash USD 25 cents off its full-year earnings per share outlook.

Macy's Inc. (NYSE: M) shares tumbled 19% on Thursday after the Company reported disappointing sales
results for the combined months of November and December and cut its 2018 earnings outlook. For the two months, Macy's reported
that comparable sales were up 1.1%. Due to the weaker-than-expected holiday sales, Macy's revised its sales forecast for fiscal
2018. Macy's is now expecting net sales to remain flat compared to its previous projection of a 0.3% to 0.7% increase. The
retailer forecasts diluted earnings per share of USD 3.95 to USD 4.00
