Optimism over a 'phase one' trade deal between the United States and China is pushing stocks to record highs in the final days of the year. But Wall Street banks still believe trade is one of the biggest risks for markets in 2020.

Optimism over a"phase one" trade deal between the United States and China is pushing stocks to record highs in the final days of the year.
