US President Trump says he is looking forward to meeting Chinese President Xi, and will be an important trip

The announcement of a meeting between President Trump and President Xi could signal a potential thaw in US-China relations, which may ease trade tensions and positively impact sentiment across asset classes. If perceived as conducive to trade agreements, this could lead to strength in equities and commodities, while possibly stabilizing currency fluctuations in the USD and JPY. However, the market's reaction will depend on the specifics discussed and any resultant commitments made during the trip.
