    The market wraps up a week for the history books as the U.S. narrows an initially broad net of tariffs, in what appears to be an attempt to largely shut down trade between China and the U.S. As a result, the top ports in the U.S. are expected to be very quiet in the coming months.

    The stock market's rally attempt that began with the Nasdaq's jump on March 12 remained intact through the past week. But with no to confirm a fresh uptrend, investors are left to prune and cultivate their watchlists. Earnings reports cool, although several names on the calendar could provide the stock market with some surprise energy.
