Stock traders are expressing optimism as easing tensions in the US-China trade war and strong earnings reports from major companies, including Apple, drive market gains. Following comments from Trump downplaying recent tariff concerns and pledging to resume trade talks with China, stocks rallied significantly, with the Dow Jones gaining nearly 600 points. Markets reacted positively to the prospect of improved trade relations, and concerns over bank credit issues have also begun to dissipate. While Wall Street saw robust growth this week, fueled by investor sentiment and earnings optimism, gold prices remain high as uncertainty lingers in the global markets.
