President: March and Agreement

president: Looming large is a 12 01 a.m, according to Market Watch. Eastern Time March 2 deadline for an agreement to be struck between Beijing and Washington on their longstanding tariff dispute. It's a pivotal month from a geopolitical standpoint, Randy Frederick, vice president of trading and derivatives at Charles Schwab, told Market Watch during a phone interview. The U.K., meanwhile, is spiraling toward a March 29 scheduled exit from the European Union with or without a trade agreement in hand. On Thursday, President Donald Trump seemed to reject entreaties to meet Chinese President Xi Jinping to cement an agreement before the March deadline, when a 90-day truce ends and duties on some 200 billion in Chinese goods are expected to climb to 25% from 10% currently. Recent developments have cast more concerns over how both events will play out, raising the potential that the market reaction could be violent. (news.financializer.com). As reported in the news.
