- Title: Wall Street slumps as visa restrictions stoke U.S.-China worries
- Date: 8th October 2019
- Summary: NEW YORK, NEW YORK, UNITED STATES (OCTOBER 8, 2019) (REUTERS) (SOUNDBITE) (English) WILLIAM O'NEIL + COMPANY, CHIEF INVESTMENT STRATEGIST, RANDY WATTS, SAYING: "It's become increasingly clear over the last 48 hours that the trade talks are going to happen on Thursday this week are not going to be as productive as people thought, right? There was hope that that was going to set the stage for the big deal. And now the White House is kind of walking back that language. In addition, they've actually gotten more hawkish by talking about putting out a list of Chinese companies going to be blacklisted because of some of the social policies China has going on. And so, I think that lower expectations for the trade talks would cause the market to readjust."
