- The S&P 500 SPX, +0.54% ended higher by 0.5% at around 2,651.

President Donald Trump has said that he could potentially intervene in the arrest of Huawei Technologies Co.'s chief financial officer Meng Wanzhou, which has relieved the market's angst over Sino/US trade relations. Beijing was reported to be willing to make concessions over its flagship Made in China 2025 economic development plan which is a big issue for Trump.
