The global stock markets are sensitive to the macro-economic parameters and to the news associated with the trade fight between the US and China. In the present scenario, it can be said that the positive news have floated in the market with respect to the trade talks. This sort of news was very important as the trade tensions can significantly affect the performance of the stock markets. Apart from the geopolitical tensions, the US stock markets are also affected by the comments from the Chairman of US Federal Reserve.

Oil Prices Get Influenced by OPEC Decisions
