TODAY’S FACTORS AND EVENTS

German stock markets started the week with gains, but this proved to be short-lived, as investor optimism following the Trump-Xi meeting quickly dissipated. Earlier on Wednesday, the DAX dropped to its lowest level since November 21, and has declined 2.50% this week. The markets climbed after President Trump and Chinese President Xi reached an agreement, whereby the U.S. agreed to suspend further tariffs until March 1. However, it’s unclear if the reprieve is simply a pause in the trade war between the world’s two largest economies. The sides remain far apart on a number of issues, including repeated charges by the U.S. that China is engaged in theft of U.S. intellectual property. The markets have been very sensitive to the trade dispute, and the upcoming negotiations between the U.S. and China, with the likely ups-and-downs, promise to have a significant effect on market movement.
