NEW YORK - Wall Street gained ground on Thursday as positive geopolitical developments and a string of corporate earnings beats put investors in a buying mood.
Positive statements from Beijing and Washington raised hopes that a phased agreement could be reached to resolve the market-rattling trade war between the world’s two largest economies.
