Global Markets Decline Ahead of Trump-Xi Summit Amid Trade and Geopolitical Concerns
Ahead of the US-China summit between Presidents Trump and Xi, global markets showed caution. Chinese and Hong Kong stocks declined amid skepticism over trade breakthroughs, while US equities fell due to rising oil prices and bond yields. Investors also monitored US-Iran talks at the UN, which Trump described as productive, though oil prices surged amid ongoing geopolitical tensions. The trade truce extension between the US and China was shorter than expected, contributing to subdued market sentiment across sectors.
