violent history we take you to the mobile world congress in barcelona. welcome to the w business i'm genoud in milan in berlin thanks for joining us a strong start in the trading week for equity markets across the world stocks surged after u.s. president donald trump said he was postponed a new round of tariffs on china originally scheduled for march first that has investors increasingly confident that a comprise a comprehensive trade deal between the worlds the two biggest economies could now be within reach. addressing a meeting of state governors at the white house u.s. president donald trump said he expected positive results from the u.s. china trade talks. i told you how. how well we did with our trade talks in china and it looks like they'll be coming back quickly again and we're going to have a. at this summit we're going to have

a signing summit which is even better so hopefully we can get that completed but we're getting very very close to that news after trump said he would postpone a march first deadline for a terrifying on chinese imports. after all the positive signs asian markets breathed a sigh of relief the shanghai composite closed five point six percent higher marking its best day in almost four years shares in china have gained over twenty percent since the beginning of the year officially trading in a bull market. the reaction on the street in china cautious optimism solution is. it's a positive signal my company bought some plastic from the u.s. previously which hasn't been taxed by china but we were worried that if relationships got worse china may impose tariffs on those products. and we trust him i don't think trump is a reliable person he might be good at doing business but as

a politician he is not qualified. questions still remain concerning force technology transfer and the protection of intellectual property rights but markets like the good news anyway hoping the threat of a disruption to global trade will disappear. yes carter joins us now from new york and good to see you now an upcoming trade deal signing summit between china and the us sounds almost too good to be true what would it actually changes anything. well so far we are still a bit short on the details so what u.s. president donald trump was saying that it will be a great deal of what we probably can expect that the u.s. will export more to china agricultural products for example so to narrow the you would share trade gap per between the united states and china but then there are also two other big demands from washington one is what's happening to

intellectual property rights to patents so how can you save those and then on the other side also how to get us companies a better and fairer exodus to the chinese markets and that remains to be seen how you can force that and how precise that will be part of those negotiations but overall it's certainly a good sign at least that there is some hope in terror of so on a chinese imports in the amount of a good two hundred billion dollars it will not more than double as. originally proposed. and turning out to corporate news now general electric was one of wall street winners today could you tell us more about that and. well general electric had a couple of really rough months if not even hears behind they're sitting on the

decks amount of about one hundred billion dollars and now they're selling their biotechnology unit for a good twenty one billion dollars to danaher and dennis so far a good news that they can get rid of some of this huge debt load the stock of g.e. traded to the upside by a good fifteen percent when trading started by the end of the day only around plus or six percent were left because the downside of this deal is that the biotechnology unit was on not the fastest growing of g.e. and yet they get the cash but they're also losing one of the more promising parts of their business yes carter there with the view from wall street thank you very much. the mobile world congress the world's largest mobile telecommunications trade fair is end false way but falling global demand for new cell phones has handset makers trying to find that next they get
