Reports of a “Phase 1” trade deal between the United States and China last week had earlier cheered markets but the dearth of details around the agreement has since curbed this enthusiasm with oil prices extending declines, Chinese stocks weaker and the safe-haven yen holding gains versus dollar. Asian shares had nudged slightly higher while Japan’s Nikkei stock index was up 1.9%. U.S. stock futures rose 0.5% after the S&P 500 ended 0.14% lower on Monday.
Yet those concerns did little to quash market optimism for now, with Britain expected to make new proposals on Tuesday.
