REUTERS: U.S. stocks slipped on Friday after news that the Trump administration was considering delisting Chinese companies from U.S. stock exchanges and limit U.S. investments into China.

"You never know if it's a ploy to get some leverage on those talks ... it could be just trying to rile up the base, but at face value, it's going to be a bit of a negative for the markets," said Scott Brown, chief economist at Raymond James in St. Petersburg, Florida.The three main indexes are set to end a volatile week slightly lower, after conflicting headlines about U.S.-China trade and as U.S. Democrats launched an impeachment investigation on President Donald Trump.

In addition to trade headlines, investors will next week focus on the ISM's purchasing managers index data for September, especially after the August report showed contraction in the manufacturing sector, as well as the pivotal jobs report. New orders for key U.S.-made capital goods also unexpectedly fell in August, but the so-called core personal consumption expenditures price index, the Fed's preferred inflation measure, rose to 1.8per cent in August, the biggest rise in prices since January.
