Global stock markets experienced gains amid signs of easing trade tensions between the United States and China. Despite lackluster earnings reports from major technology companies Apple and Amazon, investor sentiment improved due to optimism over potential trade talks. Asian markets rose as China considered the possibility of negotiations with the U.S., contributing to a broader rally. Wall Street stocks advanced for the second consecutive week, supported by strong U.S. economic data and the prospect of reduced Sino-U.S. trade conflicts. This combination of factors helped lift risk appetite globally, offsetting concerns about the impact of a prolonged trade war.
