US futures ease upon conclusion of Trump-Xi meeting

Forex Short News

S&P 500 futures are now down 0.2% on the day as the wires are noting that Trump has left “without a press conference on the outcome”. He does love to make a show of things but isn’t doing so this time around. So, read what you want into that if you will. But just for some added context, this was the image of how both leaders were feeling when they were leaving the meeting venue:

So, make what you will out of this one.

Anyway, Trump did say that the meeting might’ve taken “three to four hours”. Instead, it took 1 hour and 40 minutes only. That being said, the Chinese camp is saying that the meeting went on for “longer than scheduled”. It was supposed to conclude at 0330 GMT, so that just went on for a little longer than that.

Two sides to the coin, just remember that.
