Trump-Xi Meeting Risks Roiling Markets

The meeting, scheduled to take place at the G-20 summit in Buenos Aires, will be closely watched by investors
Trade has been one of this year’s main concerns for investors. The biggest development may be still to come.
The Group of 20 leaders’ summit in Buenos Aires begins on Friday. The gathering will include a face-to-face meeting between President Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping.
The outcome will be closely watched by investors across asset classes—particularly in Asia, where trade tensions and tariffs have already been felt keenly. Softening economic data, in both developed and emerging markets, has added a wild card to already unsettled markets.
The result hinges partly on a U.S. administration that many in the investment world have found more difficult to predict than its predecessors.
