Trade deal seems to be "fake"

Some fuel to the fire https://blog.tickmill.com/fund-analysis/a-christmas-tale-about-a-trade-deal/

 

China has been uncharacteristically quiet ever since news broke that the U.S. had agreed to a phase one trade deal in principle with the Chinese. But that will change soon on Friday.

Chinese officials are set to hold a press conference regarding the trade talks on Friday, at 10:30 p.m. Beijing time and 9:30 a.m. ET.

 

It doesn't help things when Trump be all like ...

"The Wall Street Journal story on the China Deal is completely wrong, especially their statement on Tariffs. Fake News. They should find a better leaker!"

 

If the only adults in the room walk away.... Oh lordy

 

Thought you were joking there for a minute

 

I hope China reneges.

 

Too late, Chinese officials said China and the U.S. reached an agreement on the text of the phase one trade deal.

 

China probably will renege just to spook U.S. markets on Friday the 13th. hehe. who knows.

 

according to chinese newspaper, there is still a while before the phase one deal can be signed. trump takes every opportunity to manipulate the market.

 

Chinese State Media organ could possibly address Hong Kong and the treatment of Muslim Uighurs in the meantime.
