Thread: Really? More than 50-50 chance of a phase one, skinny deal

This is getting comical... 50/50? The futures actually moved higher on this nonsense.


More than 50-50 chance of a ‘phase one, skinny deal’ between US and China, economist says

KEY POINTS

The United States and China are likely to ink a “phase one, skinny” trade deal because the presidents of both countries need it for domestic political reasons, Stephen Roach from Yale University told CNBC.

Clinching the trade deal with Beijing could help Trump “deflect attention away” from domestic political problems, Roach says.

Trump, for his part, is facing an impeachment inquiry in Washington.
