On today’s episode of Free Lunch, Associate Stock Strategist Ryan McQueeney recaps the morning’s trading activity, touching on the latest trade war news and why it is impacting major indexes like the Dow. Later, the host explains the new partnership between JD.com (JD - Free Report) and Google (GOOGL - Free Report) and what it could mean for the Chinese e-commerce company’s future.

Stocks opened lower on Monday after another trade spat between the U.S. and China created fresh timidity over the weekend. Citing intellectual property concerns, among other things, the Trump administration slapped new tariffs on billions of dollar worth of Chinese goods—a move that was met almost immediately by retaliation.
Now, with Chinese tariffs set to go into effect in early July, investors are concerned that the tit-for-tat trade dispute might actually get in the way of global economic growth. Add this uncertainty to the trade disagreements that President Trump and the U.S. has had with allied nations in recent weeks, and it is easy to see why some investors have decided to sit things out for now.
Ryan touches on all of these concerns and provides his perspective on the news in the first half of today’s show.
Later, he highlights JD.com, a major Chinese e-commerce company which just announced a partnership with—and investment from—search engine behemoth Google.
The deal is a part of JD’s broader missing to expand into new markets, including Southeast Asia and Europe. Ryan explains why these regions are key battlegrounds in JD’s fight with Amazon (AMZN - Free Report) and Alibaba (BABA - Free Report) —two larger competitors which might otherwise have an advantage.
JD is also hoping the agreement will invigorate analysts and investors who grew skeptical after the stock crashed from its 52-week highs, so Ryan digs into the company’s latest key charts to provide additional insight.

Today's Stocks from Zacks' Hottest Strategies
It's hard to believe, even for us at Zacks. But while the market gained +21.9% in 2017, our top stock-picking screens have returned +115.0%, +109.3%, +104.9%, +98.6%, and +67.1%.
And this outperformance has not just been a recent phenomenon. Over the years it has been remarkably consistent. From 2000 - 2017, the composite yearly average gain for these strategies has beaten the market more than 19X over. Maybe even more remarkable is the fact that we're willing to share their latest stocks with you without cost or obligation.
