TODAY’S FACTORS AND EVENTS

Stocks in Europe bounced back, helped by quite positive headlines around the ongoing trade talks between China and the US, as well as early gains on Wall Street, which more than offset the drag from the downdraft in crude oil futures.

Whip-saw trading conditions left many analysts’ market commentary outdated as soon as they hit the ‘send’ button, after the Director of the US National Economic Council, Larry Kudlow, told broadcaster CNBC that US and China trade talks had restarted and were ongoing “at all levels”, alongside “very good communication” with the European Union and Japan.
