US and China agree suspension of new tariffs

Equity markets are on the rise again this morning as investors reacted positively to the news of a truce in the US China trade spat. Donald Trump and Xi emerged from their meeting hailing it as a success but warning that more needed to be done to get the deal right. With Trump announcing a suspension on the next round of US tariffs on goods markets are hoping the two economies will manage to forge an agreement which will see all tariffs on Chinese goods removed.
