(Washington)

The markets had a scintillating day yesterday. The Dow surged almost 400 points. Why? The reason was simple—the market stopped worrying so much about a US trade war with China. The two countries are planning further high level talks on trade and that alleviated the market’s fears. Barron’s proclaimed that “This is what happens when the market’s not worried about trade”, obviously referring to the strength of the economy and earnings. The market was also more optimistic on Turkey.


FINSUM: There does seem to be a lot of upside that has been stifled by geopolitical worries. Perhaps there is a nice run to be had if the US and China can come to an agreement.
