Chinese state media on Monday lambasted U.S. President Donald Trump's trade policies in an unusually personal attack, and sought to reassure investors anxious about China's economy as growth concerns battered its financial markets. At 2:38 p.m. EDT, the Dow Jones Industrial Average (.DJI) rose 42.85 points, or 0.17 percent, to 25,505.43, the S&P 500 (.SPX) gained 10.2 points, or 0.36 percent, to 2,850.55 and the Nasdaq Composite (.IXIC) added 41.68 points, or 0.53 percent, to 7,853.70.
