US-China trade tensions remain the main driver and for now, there is an air of optimism ahead of the Trump-Xi meeting next week. Investors are hoping for good news to come before the meeting and more to follow after as well. That as we also gear towards the next rate cut by the Fed at the end of the month. US futures are sitting higher with S&P 500 futures up 0.4% on the day, so that’s helping with the mood too.
