U.S. stock futures climbed and European indexes reversed earlier losses amid hopes for progress toward a U.S.-China trade deal.

• European stocks rise, Asian indexes pauseFutures for the S&P 500 rose 0.5%, while Dow Jones Industrial Average futures gained 0.4% Wednesday. The contracts don’t necessarily predict moves after the opening bell.

President Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping are expected to meet at the G-20 in Japan later this week, in a what is seen by analysts as an important moment in the trade dispute between the two nations. Fed officials “wanted to prevent markets from running into too much exuberance on the rate cut story…It’s a game with communication and playing with expectations to bring markets a bit back into more reasonable ranges,” he said.

Bitcoin extended its record rise, breaking above $12,000 as cryptocurrencies have benefited since Facebook said last week it planned to launch its own digital currency. Bitcoin reached $12,663 Wednesday.

Stocks finish mixed ahead of U.S.-China trade talksThe U.S. stock market capped a day of listless trading with modest losses Monday as investors focused on upcoming trade talks between the U.S. and China. Hope China stands firm. Based on past practice, Trump is a coward when it comes to face to face confrontations, so the talks will look promising & stock will rise. Then Trump gets on Air Force 1 & begins to tweet & stocks will plummet.
