President Donald Trump is pushing hard to strike a trade deal with China with the hopes of lifting stock market prices further, Bloomberg News reported Wednesday.
One of the people familiar with the matter told Bloomberg that Trump watched how U.S. and Asian shares rose following his decision to push back a tariff hike scheduled for March 1.

Like breathing in the same air repeatedly. Tired headline. There are real stories, unfortunately negative, that CNBC could be reporting on but keeps choosing this one to not inject fear in the marketplace. Weak at best.
Always look to how something affects Trump personally. It's the only relevant consideration, always.
Maybe both realDonaldTrump & Xi need Wall Street to bath their evil souls.
Fake news. Trump only gonna sign a deal that addresses China’s structural trade abuses. No Democrat ever had the courage or intellect to push back on any trade partner. Especially with China.
Another “reportably”or “sources say” headline from CNBC. How about stating that President Trump is working tirelessly to reach an agreement with China in order to benefit all Americans?
This is the extent of Trump’s simple mind. Everything is transactional, he has the strategic planning ability of a chimp. And as he’s said, he doesn’t give a shit what happens after he’s gone.
No shit Einstein
something cnbc is dead set against a strong stock market prefer socialist in power
So...not for a better deal for American trade. I thought that when American trade is better...economy better...stock market better? can you really be better at reporting? Trade has been poor since tariffs...economy slowed...stocks down; expecting inverse when trade deal ok
Maybe the headline shb “Trump reportedly pushing for trade deal with China in hopes of... leveling the playing field for American business”
You want the economy to fail so bad, eh?
Too little too late in the end of this economic cycle. It will trigger a sell-off.
DougKass Banana Republic This is very serious, should be treated as such. Betting there’s a trail here which could expose a great deal re: planned and rigged mkts
He didnt think his tariffs would not harm the stock market?
No deal is better than a bad deal!
Oh yea, those tariffs are really bringing the Chinese to the table! The Chinese officials know Trump is running for re-election, and the tariff are hurting his base. Do you really think the Chinese are worried about more tariffs. I don't think so.
Duh ... this is stating the obvious
A lot of us are hoping for the same thing.
That is just a consequent of a deal...go back to the summer when Tarriffs were imposed...just a non story by NBC...disgraceful!
It’s always best to be desperate when negotiating, right?
Equity markets are on the cusp of collapsing and any China US trade news will have zero immediate economic impact as China and Europe economies are in the gutter
realDonaldTrump is selling the country down the river
First you break it, then you pretend to fix it and ask for a prize
Who is shocked to hear this?
After the deal equities will get smashed
Big mistake,
You know trouble’s a brewing. Dudley is out talking up the market.
well noted CNBC
A weak trade deal is already priced in
He is day trading the market
