Stock prices jumped on Dec. 6 following a positive U.S. jobs report and President Donald Trump’s comments that trade negotiations with China are “moving along.”
Trump said on Dec. 5 that trade talks are “moving along very well,” adding that he would “have to see” about whether or not to impose additional tariffs on China. A 15 percent tariff on about $156 billion worth of Chinese consumer goods is set to take effect on Dec. 15.
