U.S. Equity Markets slid following losses in Europe and Asia as traders weighed conflicting signals about the outlook for a trade deal between Beijing and Washington. The S&P 500 Index fell for a third day, the longest losing streak in almost two months, but remained within 1% of a record high. The US Dollar held steady and Treasuries dipped as China’s chief trade negotiator reportedly said he was “cautiously optimistic” about reaching a phase-one accord. Pessimists focused on speculation Donald Trump may sign legislation backing Hong Kong protesters, setting up further conflict between the nations. TD Ameritrade soared on reports that Charles Schwab Corp. is in talks to buy the brokerage. Hong Kong’s deteriorating situation may prove crucial to the trade talks, and on Thursday a commentary from China’s state-run news agency accused the U.S. of applying a double standard. China has threatened to retaliate for the passage of the American bill and said supporting the protesters was a “gross” interference in Hong Kong affairs. Traders will be watching for signs of progress ahead of a Dec. 15 deadline for further tariffs.
