Trump says he'll sign "phase one" trade deal with China on Jan. 15

President Trump tweeted Tuesday that he will sign the "phase one" trade deal with China in a ceremony at the White House on Jan. 15.

The intrigue: Trump did not indicate that Chinese President Xi Jinping would be in Washington for the occasion, saying that "high level representatives" would be present instead. Reports earlier this week indicated that Vice Premier Liu He, China's top trade negotiator, would be the one to sign on behalf of China.

The president also added that he would head to Beijing "at a later date" to begin talks for the "phase two" deal.

The big picture: From what has been publicly announced, the "phase one" deal averted a new round of tariffs scheduled to go into effect on Dec. 15, and a Chinese official said at the time that the U.S. would reduce its tariffs on Chinese goods in stages.

from previous close of market average prices - [which were down on the day].

[Sort of good news that market didn't fall for that one from trump, who is desperate. traitortrump will get far more desperate as 2020 rolls on, - and will not hesitate at anything to make market go up].

4. Noticed a

distinct trend. The Algorithms are running the Trades for the first four hours and then after the Noon Break,then the live Traders are playing the opposite side of the Algo's Trades. Clue,turn on your Candle Graph. Always a Big buy or sell at the open,same at the close.

3. I think the market ignores Trump now

They are, however, confidant that when the downturn does come Trump will protect them at the expense of the American workers.
