Anyone remember the rumor that the real reason Trump called Powell to the White House Monday morning was to warn him that the trade deal was falling apart and wanted to know what the Fed was going to do about it?

So a friendly reminder to American farmers: Don’t rush to buy more land or get bigger tractors. Wait until a China-US trade deal is truly signed and still valid six months after. It's safer by then. https://t.co/qxbFhEkfZN

How far-fetched does it look now?

Few Chinese believe that China and the US can reach a deal soon. Given current poor China policy of the US, people tend to believe the significance of a trade deal, if reached, will be limited. China wants a deal but is prepared for the worst-case scenario, a prolonged trade war. https://t.co/7KPp5cUOIQ
