On Monday, U.S. stock index futures remained steady as investors anticipated upcoming trade discussions between the United States and China, aimed at resolving ongoing trade disputes that have impacted financial markets throughout the year.
The talks, set to take place in London, follow a preliminary agreement reached in Geneva last month that temporarily eased tensions between the two economic superpowers. This latest round of discussions comes shortly after a phone call between U.S. President Donald Trump and China's Xi Jinping, their first direct dialogue since Trump's inauguration.
The S&P 500 index recently closed above the 6,000 mark for the first time since February, buoyed by solid job reports, a strong rebound in Tesla shares, and optimism about potential new trade deals. As the financial landscape remains dynamic, investors closely monitor market trends and key economic indicators.
