the 2 sides enter the 13th round of trade talks hopes are muted for a grand bargain although investors would like to see a reversal of plans u.s. import tariffs scheduled to hit next week and begin in simberg the trade dispute between the world's 2 largest economies has spread uncertainty across the globe and contributed to a larger economic slowdown. and let's go to our financial correspondent in new york he ends quarter for more on this now yes from an investor perspective what exactly does success look like in these trade talks. well i mean certainly investors are hoping that we won't see an escalation of trade disputes but if you look at it realistically and at the real economy if you look at the big u.s. corporations they will probably have to live with the uncertainty because china is not going to change their industry strategy overall meaning for example that there

intellectual property the support for chinese companies out of beijing all of those issues will probably not change at this point and then briefly how exactly can investors position themselves in such an environment where never really sure where this is going. well i mean. daily basis that's what we've seen in the past couple of weeks and that's probably also what we're going to see looking ahead at least for now there is some optimism we heard after the talks here on thursday that the u.s. president donald trump is quoted saying that the talks and the negotiations have gone nicely so let's wait and see what happens now on friday when trump is meeting with the chinese vice and then well to see if there is some good news but unfortunately this topic is going to stick with us for quite some time leave your
