Odd way to set a good tone...
European equities opened in the green, but are now in the red with the Dax down -0.38% and only the FTSe showing marginal gains of 0.14% (helped by a weak GBP this am). (gains now gone as I publish this post)
The risk tone could be about to turn when you consider that going into these talks:
1. US blacklisted 28 Chinese companies
2. China's halted NBA (National Basketball Association) broadcasts
Feeling tense anyone?
