“I think there’ll be a deal maybe soon, maybe before the election, or one day after the election. And if it’s after the election, it’ll be a deal like you’ve never seen, it’ll be the greatest deal ever and China knows that.”
“They think I’m going to win. China thinks I’m going to win so easily and they’re concerned because I told them: ‘If it’s after the election, it’s going to be far worse than what it is right now.’ I told them that. Would they like to see somebody else win? Absolutely.”
The overnight comments from the US President Trump had little impact on the markets, as the sentiment was mainly driven by the Mid-East developments and oil price-action. Also, markets turned their attention to Wednesday’s FOMC outcome.
