Wall Street has exhibited mixed performance amid cautious investor sentiment surrounding the ongoing trade tensions between the United States and China. While U.S. President Donald Trump has indicated ongoing negotiations with China, Beijing has urged the U.S. to stop misleading the public regarding trade matters. This has resulted in slight declines in stock prices during market openings. Some traders interpret signs of a potential softening in U.S. tariff policies as an opportunity to invest in Chinese stocks. However, long-term global money managers remain hesitant to increase their exposure to Chinese equities due to the persistent risks associated with the trade war.
