Trade Truce Sparks Stock Increase

U.S. stocks surged after the United States and China agreed to a 90-day truce in their trade dispute, sending the Dow up over 400 points at open on Dec. 3. Global markets saw a boost as world stocks rose nearly 1 percent after the G-20 summit. An agreement was reached between U.S. President Donald Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping to postpone an increase on trade tariffs that will allow more time to smooth out the long-running dispute.
