Global stocks rebounded Monday, pulling European markets higher and lifting U.S. equity futures into the green, following news that White House trade officials agreed to exempt South Korea from steel tariffs and were ready to open dialogue with China in an effort to avert a global trade war that has threatened economic growth and hammered financial markets around the world.

I guess this is how you bring them to the Table.
Now, if the Military starts building that Wall, uh Security Barrier, things will just be humming along.
Looks like it's Wall Street bringing Trump to the table............
We shall see.
$100,000,000,000 is the amount, which Trump says the Chinese must improve their trade balance with America by. That is a very large number. And China is running a huge amount of trade surplus with America right now.
China needs to make significant improvements in their relationships with companies from other countries, in China.
China has been becoming far too much, like what we do not want in a trading partner. Things today seem to be good, but America really, really, really needs to see significant improvement in relations.
Soon.
The market is going to whipsaw many times until they learn to trust President Trump.
President Trump continuous proving he has more common sense on political matters than all the professional politicians combined. All he wants on trade is fair trade, but that simple goal seems unattainable to lazy politicians lacking a backbone.
Exactly
There must be a pony somewhere.
True. The EU charges fees on all US products, and; these trade imbalances are mainly due to our sorry past presidents giving away everything. We pay more for everything like the UN, NATO, and you name it. George Bush opened up our interstates to some 100 Mexican trucking firms in 2007 or so. I recall the 18 wheeler surge the next AM here. NAFTA is a scam played on all of us.
Stay the course Mr. President!
We all know you are right on with respect to trade, and the globalists do too (they just don’t like it).
For the first time in 30 years the American middle class gets a fair shake.
Actually, the washing machine tariff is encouraging the Koreans and all others to deal. Tariffs on specific harmonized tariff items are more worrisome to our trading pardners than those on the commodity steel.
Trump will threaten specific harmonized tariff items as a result of specific Korean tariffs on American products that trump has requested to be released.
The Godfather is making offers they dare not refuse
Cave, man
Last week the market sky was falling in “one of the worst weeks” ever. Now its back up.
What in the hell has changed you’d ask?
With the Fed’s stimulus unwinding and it’s interest rates going up, and some growth without a ton of inflation (yet???) the market is actually behaving in more of a historical mode - with greater volatility as the “most changing” factors are not now the Fed but whatever “big news” moves the most skiddish traders.
It does not take as many actual skiddish traders in American markets as it used to, because now a huge volume of trades are like lemmings following the pied pipers of the markets, controlled only by computer algorithms that see a movement of certain degree and just follow it. A great percentage of algorithm trades are made by the huge horde of index funds. These are funds that are neither “value” investors or “risk” investors, or anything like a traditional investor. They have only one purpose - follow the market, period, so their basket of stuff continues to reflect a particular market index, where ever it is going.
The current market expresses normal volatility amplified greatly by the blind activity of index funds.

For the first time in 30 years the American middle class gets a fair shake. That’s called MAGA!
Right you are Grampa Dave.
The middle class is the backbone of this country. Not just economically but culturally and politically as well.
Headed higher again today. And why not?
