The S&P 500 was virtually unchanged in midday trading and on track for a dip of 0.4% for the week. This may be the first week in seven where the index at the heart of many 401(k) accounts moves by less than 1.5%, after swinging sharply first on fears about President Donald Trump’s trade war and then on hopes that he’ll relent on some of his tariffs.
