Dow Jones unaffected, priced in difficulties

Since US President Donald Trumpannounced an agreement on a phase one dealon October 12, both China and the US have said that the signing of the first deal would swiftly lead to the second.

ATrump administration official toldReuters:

As soon as we finish phase one we’re going to start negotiating phase two. As far as timing around when a phase two deal could be completed, that’s not something I can speculate on.

Although thetrade talks have lagged for nearly a month, the Dow Jones and the global equities market show thatinvestors are confident both countries have sufficient incentives to achieve a deal by the year end.

Without a trade deal, the GDP of China is speculated to fall by at least 6%. Janet Yellen, the former Federal Reserve chair, said that the U.S.could fall into recession with or without a deal, making the agreement important for both countries.
