Wall Street futures edged further into record high territory Thursday, while global stocks returned to all-time highs, as investors reacted to details of the  U.S.-China trade agreement and bullish signals for the tech sector following stronger-than-expected earnings from the world's biggest contract chipmaker.

The so-called phase one trade agreement, signed yesterday at the While House by President Donald Trump and China vice premier Liu He, commits Beijing to an extra $200 billion in purchases of American-made goods over the next two years in exchange for a rollback in some tariffs put in place by Washington over the past eighteen months.

China will also pledge to "enhance" intellectual property protections - a key U.S. demand -- and crack down on the practice of forced technology transfers for U.S. firms doing business in the world's second-largest economy.

Trump said the deal "rights the wrongs of the past" while delivering "economic justice" between the two countries.

"Our efforts have yielded a transformative deal that will bring benefits to both countries,'' Trump said during a ceremony at the White House. He added: "Keeping these two giant and powerful nations together in harmony is so important for the world"
