Stocks ended the day lower on Wall Street Friday and notched their second-straight weekly loss as investors were whipsawed by contradictory reports on the Trump administration’s array of trade fights.

Technology and industrial companies dropped the most. The S&P hasn’t fallen for two consecutive weeks since last year, but it remains about 14% higher so far in 2019.

Deere shares dropped over 7% after the farm equipment maker’s second quarter earnings missed Wall Street expectations. Deere lowered its outlook for the year due to the trade war and a weakened agriculture sector.
