U.S. stock futures edged lower following recent record highs as investors turn their focus to an anticipated phone call between U.S. President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping. The discussion is expected to center on a framework agreement concerning TikTok and broader trade issues, including access for companies like Nvidia to Chinese markets.
The market’s response highlights the significant influence of U.S.-China relations on global financial markets. While short-term movements may be driven by headlines, long-term trends will depend on concrete policy outcomes from these talks.
Meanwhile, recent interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve have provided temporary relief, though inflation concerns linger. Geopolitical tensions, such as potential policy shifts by the Bank of Japan, add further uncertainty. Investors are approaching the Trump-Xi call cautiously, awaiting clarity on the future direction of U.S.-China relations and its implications for the global economy.
