US equities extended gains yesterday on hopes for progress in US-China trade talks at the G-20 meeting this weekend. However, reports circulated that Trump could impose tariffs on German carmakers as early as next week. That pressured European exchanges.

• The US30 index rallied for a second straight day, reaching a one-week high as Trump’s chief economic adviser Larry Kudlow announced that the two leaders will have dinner together this coming Saturday
• The index is rising toward the 200-day moving average at 25,084. The index has traded below this average since November 19
• October’s US trade balance is due today and is expected to show a widening of the deficit to $76.7 billion from $76.04 billion in September. That would be unwelcome news for Mr Trump, and could stem the index’s recent rise.
