US stocks add to weekly gains amid trade deal optimism

  • On Friday, Wall Street equities advanced further, extending their weekly improvements driven by optimism surrounding a potential trade agreement between the US and China in New York.
  • This rise followed the announcement on Monday that the United States and China would slash tariffs for 90 days to allow further talks.
  • The S&P 500 gained 0.7 percent for its fifth consecutive session, while investors largely overlooked weaker consumer sentiment data indicating a somber economic outlook.
  • Chris Low from FHN Financial highlighted a growing sense of relief due to benign US inflation data, which helped ease fears that tariffs would sharply increase prices.
  • The gains suggest markets expect progress on trade talks despite remaining levies and ongoing uncertainty about the economic impact of tariffs and Fed interest rate decisions.
