US-China Relations Improve Asian Market

After constant, long, inconsistent reports with US-China relations, Asian market rise again. US President Donald Trump is set to meet with the Chinese for an approach to a trade talk agreement. 

Traders are reportedly starting to look at the trade talks positively. The White House said results better than they expected. They say both countries are opting for a currency deal on Friday. 

Additionally, China expressed its openness to trade measures like buying US farm products. 

Dow Jones Futures slumped on Wednesday after a 52-week high. Critics claim the decline was because of the rocky US-China relations, including unresolved tech and trade issues.
