Wall Street Futures Rise on Optimism Ahead of Trump–Xi Trade Talks

 


US stock futures climbed Monday as investors grew more confident that a breakthrough in US-China trade negotiations could be within reach. The optimism comes ahead of President Trump’s highly anticipated meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping later this week.

  • Dow Jones Industrial Average futures rose about 200 points, or 0.5%.
