June S&P 500 E-Mini futures (ESM25) are up +0.44%, and June Nasdaq 100 E-Mini futures (NQM25) are up +0.30% this morning as sentiment got a boost after China said it is assessing the possibility of trade talks with the U.S., with the focus now shifting to the key U.S. payrolls report.
China’s Commerce Ministry stated on Friday that it had observed senior U.S. officials repeatedly voicing their readiness to engage with Beijing on tariffs, and called on Washington to demonstrate “sincerity” toward China. “The U.S. has recently sent messages to China through relevant parties, hoping to start talks with China. China is currently evaluating this,” the ministry added.
