Stocks close lower on news China trade talks have stalled

Stocks closed lower Friday after CNBC reported that trade talks between China and the U.S. have stalled.

The Dow ended the day down 98 points, while the S&P 500 fell nearly 0.6%. The Nasdaq lost about 1%.

Sources told CNBC’s Kayla Tausche that scheduling discussions for further trade talks have been put on hold since the Trump administration has increased scrutiny of Chinese telecom companies. A U.S. delegation had been invited to Beijing earlier this week.

The report sent the Dow back into negative territory in the final hour of trading, erasing a gain of about 30 points. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq were further knocked down.
