Dollar and stocks head for 3rd straight weekly win as US-China trade deal hopes rise

The dollar and the US stock market are set up for their third consecutive weekly victory, thanks to the increase in speeches that the United States and China could really return to the table for commercial discussions.
As of the Asian markets on Friday on Friday. The Australian dollar increased hard, up 0.5% to $ 0.6412. New Zealand Kiwi also moved, winning 0.4% to $ 0.5932. The two are risky currencies that bounce with China News, and the two jumped after the Yuan Offshore jumped 7.2519 compared to the dollar, its strongest level since April 4.
Traders react to the new signs that the two world powers can resume negotiations. A program late Thursday of Chinese media was read like a green Beijing light.
Then, Marco Rubio, the US Secretary of State, told Fox News: “talks with China will come soon.” These clues landed after weeks of volatility launched by the prices of President Donald Trump, who emptied market confidence and sent asset prices to fly in all directions.
Yuan climbs, tank yen, the dollar continues
Alvin Tan, foreign exchange analyst in Singapore, would have said:
“The dollar was so badly affected the day after the prices, so now in the vast image, there is normalization on the market. The market keeps an eye on the economic situation, but the other eye is looking for positive developments in China.”
This is where optimism comes from, less on what is happening, more on what could. The greenback always looks solid for the week. He dropped 0.2% on Friday, but still heads for a weekly gain of 0.3%. The dollar index has remained strong, even if the volume of exchanges cleared up due to the holidays.
Against the yen, the dollar has climbed the highest 145.91 – since April 10 – before retreating to 145.17. The Japanese central bank has remained frozen on reduced growth rates and forecasts, blaming the uncertainty of American trade policy.
This movement struck the yen, which collapsed Thursday. He also suggested that Tokyo will not hike again as soon as he sees where all this American-china drama lands.
Meanwhile, the Chinese markets remained closed for long holidays, but the foreign motion movements elsewhere clearly indicated where the feeling was heading. Investors are ready to continue the risks, as long as Washington and Beijing stop threatening to explode trade every two days.
Wall Street jumps on trade buzz, technological gains
Thursday evening, the term contracts on the S&P 500 increased by 0.68% after China said it weighed commercial talks. The term contracts on Dow broke out 0.82%, up 337 points. The term contracts on the NASDAQ 100 increased by 0.32%. The markets considered comments as a break from weeks of stress on prices, discussions on recession and technological weakness.
American actions also moved during the day's session. The composite of the Nasdaq jumped 1.5%, erasing all its losses since April 2, the same day, Trump began disorder with his commentary on “reciprocal” prices. The S&P 500 won 0.6% and the DOW added 0.2%. The two clues are on a sequence of eight days victories. The rally was helped by a technological sector which tries to shake up trembling income.
This upheaval continued on Thursday. Apple has flowed 4% in exchanges after opening hours after missing the income expectations of its service division. He also warned that he was preparing for $ 900 million in additional fees this quarter, linked to – you guessed it – the prices.
Amazon fell by 2% after publishing weak and blamed advice “rates and commercial policies” for the Miss. The two companies are part of the so-called “seven magnificent” and their results have added more fuel to the fire rate.
However, all the news of the profits were not waste. According to FactstSet, about two -thirds of S&P 500 companies have so far said, and 76% have beat procurement forecasts. This statistic helped carry actions earlier in the week. The results of Meta and Microsoft in particular gave energy bulls, and traders started to bet on AI.
On the economic side, a manufacturing report landed better than fearing it. He has always shown a contraction, but the data was less ugly than expected. This helped put a floor under the stocks and slightly push the yields of the treasure. Add the weaker yen and the stronger yuan, and it was enough for people to buy again.
