TODAY’S FACTORS AND EVENTS

The G-2o summit was a big success as far as the markets were concerned. Investors paid scant attention to the discussions between world leaders, focusing instead on a weekend dinner meeting between President Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping. Just last week, Trump had threatened to raise tariffs on $200 billion in Chinese products from 10 percent to 25 percent on January 1. However, the tone was optimistic after the meeting, with China receiving a short reprieve. The sides have agreed to continue talks for another 90 days, and the U.S. tariffs will take effect if no agreement is reached. The markets were clearly relieved that the tariff war has de-escalated, and European markets have jumped on Monday, following the lead of Asian markets. At the same time, the U.S. and China remain far apart on resolving the trade war, and the greenback will likely reverse directions unless the parties make substantial progress in the trade dispute, which has shaken the markets and threatens to derail global growth.
