it's been a chaotic week of mixed messaging on the trade talks with comments from president donald trump on friday diminishing hopes of an imminent trade truce between washington and beijing he said a complete rollback of tariffs on each other's goods was not in the cards he said the chinese government knew he would not agree to such a rollback but just a day earlier the chinese commerce ministry said the terrorists would be lifted in stages however the white house advisers are reportedly divided on whether and which levies to remove as a response to which concessions from earlier reports of both sides agreeing to an initial deal to pave the way for a broader one have now been thrown into doubt. now earlier we spoke with one experience head of market analysis ranko barretts we asked them how much the erratic communication surrounding the trade discussions were a disadvantage for the chinese. that's right i think the root of the problem is the

fact that policy at the white house is being made alternately directly by the president often with by the no input or even contradicting import from various advisers so the result of this is that as we've heard this week for example with could lose recent statements the senior advisers like to add a lot of contingency into the communications they put out to be able to say a deal is being reached out of the ways make you contingent on final approval from the president and as you said you know chris sort of i miss the communications environment and you can see financial markets reacting to that. for more on just how the financial markets are reacting our correspondent yens court is here to give us the view from wall street younes after yesterday's highs the end of this trading week is marked with a bit more uncertainty how does it look from your end well i mean overall it's clearly it is very difficult for corporations to make investment decisions in this environment and as you mentioned earlier it's

a back and forth when it comes to the mood to when it comes to a possible trade agreement or face one deal or many deal as it's called here on wall street but interestingly enough investors seem to shrug it all of we had a pretty strong reading on thursday and then on friday when the words from donald trump hit the wires we saw a little dip but then basically at the last 2nd day of trading the dull jones industrial average turned positive meaning that the dow jones industrial average the s. and p. $500.00 also lost a composite actually of finishing the week on all new record highs so investors taking it all in their stride now there is what trump says and there is the reality that both sides really need a deal to progress so how likely is it that we're going to see one in december. well one question is even if there is a deal reached and we have to wait and see if it's going to happen then you will

need to find a time and place where u.s. president donald trump. could meet u.s. president donald trump on friday and claim that certainly the signing would take place in the united states possibly all saw if we keep in mind that we have the elections coming up next year and u.s. president on might want the signing to happen in the u.s. state where i agree culture for example is pretty big but then we also shouldn't forget that the shopping season the holiday season is coming up and theoretically there is still this date december 15th where a new set of terrorists actually could take place but overall the market at least seems to be quite hopeful that the 2 might find an agreement sold to not actually hinder a good shopping season here in the united states. wrapping up the trading week for us thank you very much. now to some of the other business stories making news and
