New Year, New Trends: What to Watch

For most of last year, tech stocks were the momentum drivers; but now, after a tumultuous final quarter of 2018, momentum has reversed. There are no true leaders to look to, and an aura of negativity seems to permeate the market.

On the first episode of Varney & Co. in 2019, worries are still rampant when it comes to the government shutdown. But, as guest host Charles Payne points out, investors may be surprised (and relieved!) to know that the last time a shutdown coincided with the market falling was in 1990. Rather than focusing on that, Shah Gilani later reveals what investors should be focusing on as we enter the New Year – and a new, bearish-leaning market.
