World stocks edged off their highest in almost two years, but kept record levels in sight, following fresh signs that the United States and China were working to end a trade war dragging on the global economy

China's yuan - the currency most sensitive to the trade war - had risen to a one-week high of 7.0181 against the dollar, but was last trading at 7.0388“China and the U.S. agreed on a framework to resolve their phase one issue, which is just a way of saying that they did admin work,” said Sebastien Galy, senior macro strategist at Nordea Asset Management.

The United States has imposed tariffs on Chinese goods in a 16-month dispute over trade practices that the U.S. government says are unfair. China has responded with its own tariffs on U.S. goods. The next important date to watch is Dec. 15, when Washington is scheduled to impose even more tariffs on Chinese goods.

You guys are a complete joke.

What were the fresh signs exactly? They agreed to a deal on October 11

The punchline here, that most seem to ignore , is that from what I’ve read, this magnificent deal will for the most part return trade levels to where they were before the tariff war, particularly in agriculture.

Pure Hot air being blown! There is no trade deal ever!
