Wall Street fell slightly after three days of growth

On Wall Street, indices fell slightly on Monday, after three days of growth, as investors' enthusiasm for a partial trade agreement reached between Washington and Beijing on Friday.
The Dow Jones fell 29 points or 0.11 percent to 26,787 points, while the S&P 500 slipped 0.14 percent to 2,966 points and the Nasdaq Index 0.10 percent to 8,048 points.
In the past three days, the S&P 500 index jumped 2.7 percent, thanks to investors' hope that the US and China would reach a trade deal.
On Friday, after two days of talks, US President Donald Trump announced that China and the US have reached the first phase of a significant trade agreement, which includes the exchange of agricultural products, the currency issue and some aspects of intellectual property protection.
As a result, Washington has delayed tariff increases from 25 percent to 30 percent to about $ 250 billion worth of Chinese exports, due to take effect this Tuesday.
However, none of that stage of the agreement has been put on paper yet, and both sides said there is still much work to be done.
Yesterday, European stock markets saw their share prices fall. London's FTSE index fell 0.46 percent to 7,213 points, while Frankfurt's DAX slipped 0.20 percent to 12,486 points and the Paris CAC 0.40 percent to 5,643 points.
