Wary investors hope US-China talks cool high-stakes trade war

(Reuters) -Investors are hopeful that U.S.-China trade talks this weekend will cool a trade war between the world's two largest economies and dispel some of the uncertainty clouding financial markets, though few expect a major breakthrough just yet. The highly anticipated meeting in Switzerland could mark one of the biggest developments since U.S. President Donald Trump launched sweeping tariffs on April 2, which threw the global trade landscape into chaos and set off extreme market volatility. "This is the mother of all negotiations," said Alejo Czerwonko, chief investment officer, Emerging Markets Americas, at UBS.

2 Major European Bank Stocks Have Thumped the S&P 500 Index This Year. They Still Trade at Less Than 65 Cents on the Dollar

The S&P 500 has been volatile, but is ultimately down on the year in the wake of President Donald Trump's tariff saga.

Dollar General has rallied strongly in 2025 even as the market fell into correction territory.

Dollar General's retail business model might have something to do with that, but there's more to the story here, and it is important to understand investor expectations around this low-price retailer before you buy it.
