 The Dow Jones Industrial Average late-afternoon Tuesday jumped by more than 240 points, trading at session highs as Wall Street investors shrugged off escalating trade tensions to focus on a healthy domestic economy. The Dow was up 246 points, or 0.9%, at 26,309, putting the blue-chip gauge about 1.2% shy of its Jan. 26 record at 26,616.71. The rally comes despite China's decision to impose tariffs of 5% to 10% on $60 billion worth of U.S. products that will take effect Sept. 24. That news is in direct response to the Trump administration's announcement of 10% tariffs on $200 billion in Chinese goods, which will be implemented on the same date. The clashes between Beijing and Washington have been a source of anxiety for the market, but it hasn't prevented equities from mostly trending higher on the back of strong jobs and healthy corporate earnings. Meanwhile, the S&P 500 index climbed 0.7% at 2,910, while the Nasdaq Composite Index advanced 1% at 7,976.

British Prime Minister Theresa May told the BBC that U.K. members of parliament must choose between her outline for a controversial deal with Brussels on exiting from the European Union or no deal at all. In an interview with the BBC's Panorama program that aired Monday, May said that if parliament doesn't ratify her plan, known as the Chequers plan, "I think that the alternative to that will be having no deal." A so-called no-deal Brexit would see the U.K. leave the EU on March 29 with no agreement in place on trade and other issues. The British pound rose 0.7% to $1.3161 on Monday, lifted by optimism over U.K.-EU Brexit talks.
