Stocks rose out of the gate this morning, following assurances from the White House that the U.S.-China trade deal is still on. Follow along with the latest stock market updates here:
all rose as the market was set to add to Monday's solid gains. All four of those stocks gained more than 2% in premarket trading. Banks have caught a bid over the past month amid mounting bets on the global economy reopening, which would theoretically increase consumer spending and help these companies.
U.S. futures sank after the comments. The trade advisor then walked back his comment, saying his words were taken "wildly out of context" and reassured that the deal is, in fact, not over. President Donald Trump also weighed in following Navarro's Monday interview, writing on Twitter that "The China Trade Deal is fully intact. Hopefully they will continue to live up to the terms of the Agreement!" Futures then recovered.
The about-face from the White House and whipsaw in equity futures highlight the fragility of the accord struck between the globe's two largest economies earlier this year. Tensions have been rising between the U.S. and China in recent months over the origins of the coronavirus pandemic and Beijing's influence over Hong Kong.
