Stock futures pointed to a negative open on Tuesday amid questions over whether the U.S.-China trade agreement will resolve the two countries’ dispute in the long term.
The U.S. and China over the weekend agreed at the G-20 summit in Argentina to hold off on any additional tariffs on each other’s goods on January 1, in order to allow trade talks to continue.
But discrepancies over when that truce would begin has led to confusion. While President Donald Trump’s economic advisor, Larry Kudlow, told reporters Monday that the cease-fire would start from January 1, the White House later issued a corrected statementsaying that the 90-day truce period would start on December 1.
