Market Chatter: Investors Look Beyond Trade Tensions at Trump-Xi Summit

By

Investors are betting that trade disputes will take a back seat when U.S. President Donald Trump meets Chinese President Xi Jinping in Beijing, Reuters reported Tuesday.

Instead, investors are focused on artificial intelligence and possible easing of U.S. chip export curbs, according to the report.

China's yuan has climbed to a three-year high, while the Shanghai Composite has reached an 11-year peak amid AI-driven export growth, Reuters wrote.

Fund managers remain optimistic despite concerns over Iran, Taiwan and rare earths. Investors are closely watching whether Washington will allow more advanced NVIDIA chips into China, viewing AI development as the market's primary driver, Reuters cited Zeng Wanping, manager at Beijing Monolith Fund.
