BreakingDow industrials rally prompts fresh Trump tweet about the stock market
President Donald Trump on Monday tweeted about the stock market -- only his second tweet on the topic since the stock market became more volatile. "Great news," the president said at the news the Dow industrials sported the third-best one-day point gain ever, adding the hashtag MAGA, which stands for Make America Great Again. Prior to this missive, Trump had authored just one tweet since Jan. 26 about the stock market. Even with the rally on Monday, the Dow is down 9.1% from its Jan. 26 level.

BreakingGun companies fall after global march, Remington bankruptcy
Shares of publicly traded gun companies fell on Monday, in the first trading session after a massive worldwide rally protesting gun violence. The march was the latest example of strength by supporters of gun-control legislation, which, if passed, could depress the sales and earnings of the sector. The gun-control movement has picked up steam since last month's high school shooting in Parkland, Fla., which left 17 people dead; earlier this month, a number of companies, including Walmart and Dick's Sporting Goods, broke ties with the National Rifle Association. Sturm Ruger & Co. fell 1.6% on the day while American Outdoor Brands Corp. , the parent of Smith & Wesson, fell 3.1%. Both are on track for their third straight daily decline. Also hurting the sector was Remington Outdoor Co., the firearms maker that sought bankruptcy protection Sunday, in the face of a heavy debt load, falling sales and lawsuits tied to 2012 Sandy Hook school shooting. The Dow Jones Industrial Average jumped 1.8% on Monday while the S&P 500 was up 1.6% and the Nasdaq Composite Index was up 1.8%. Thus far this year, Sturm is down 13% while American Outdoor has shed 26%. American Outdoor recently forecast weak sales for at least a year.
