Consumer Cos Climb After Tariff Relief - Consumer Roundup

Dow Jones05-13

Consumer companies surged amid tariffs relief.

Fears that the upward spiral on border duties for electronics, clothes and toys imported from China caused a rapid decline in consumer confidence earlier this year.

The 90-day cease-fire in the trade war could cause a revival in confidence and economic activity, said one strategist.

"Perhaps the market was pricing in a doomsday worst-case secnerio," said J.D. Joyce, president of Houston financial advisory Joyce Wealth Management. "On a relative asis this looks really good."

The SPDR Select Sector Consumer Discretionary exchange-traded fund, which tracks the consumer-discretionary industry group of the S&P 500, Deal activity buoyed the consumer-products niche.

Church & Dwight struck a deal to buy the Touchland hand-sanitizer brand for up to $880 million. French food processor Danone agreed to buy a majority stake in Kate Farms, a California-based producer of plant-based nutritional formulas.

Investment firm TSG agreed to buy budget gym chain EoS from rival firm BRS & Co.
