Friday’s volatile trading session was provoked by an escalation of the trade war as China threatened to impose an additional $75 billion in tariffs on American goods such as automobiles, oil and soybeans. Shortly after, President Trump countered by increasing both current and upcoming tariffs. This morning, S&P 500 futures are up +.48% and US Treasuries are relatively unchanged as President Trump said that the prospects for a deal with China is now better than at any time since talks began last year. However, those comments were refuted by China’s Global Times adding that negotiators hadn’t spoken in recent days.
