According to the US as well as China, there has been plenty of progress made in the trade talks aimed at ending the trade war initiated by the US. Several reports suggested that both leaders may meet this month in order to officially end the trade war, but at least three officials with knowledge of talks have now come forward and stated that there won’t be any such meeting in March. President Trump and Xi may meet at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago golf resort, if they meet at all. The Chinese side is worried about Trump’s willingness to walk out of discussions he dislikes as he did with the Democrats at the White House and with North Korean Leader Kim Jong-un in Vietnam.
China insists on a formal state visit in order to sign the potential trade deal and is not interested in a low key meeting just to sign it. This will take more time for preparations on the US side which could explain the delay. Sources claim that a visit at the end of April is possible. The US has hoped that President Xi will fly to the US later this month as he wraps up his trip to Europe, this was denied by staff members of President Xi’s delegation. There has been no official response from the White House in Washington, DC or the State Council in Beijing.
Some analysts believe the reason for the delay in the potential meeting is more serious than media reports suggest. It could hint that both sides are too far away from striking a meaningful deal which both leaders are comfortable taking back to their respective countries. According to US Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer, who is leading the US side in negotiations, plenty of unresolved issues remain which will prevent a trade deal from being signed. One of the biggest issue remains the transfer and treatment of intellectual property rights. While smaller concessions were granted from both sides, Lighthizer noted that none of the big issues which led to the trade war have been addressed.
Are the US and China close to reaching a trade deal or are both sides too far apart? The US Dollar has seen a rise in volatility which has been echoed in the price of Gold. The global economy is slowing down and while the trade war between the US and China has had an impact, some analysts questions if a trade deal will unravel the damage done.

Even President Trump has scaled back the urgency of signing a deal before the month is over. He has further acknowledged the fact that China has concerns over him walking out. This has resulted in Trump pushing back the date for a meeting with President Xi. Trump noted that “We could do it either way. We can have the deal completed and come and sign or we can get the deal almost completed and negotiate some of the final points. I would prefer that. But it doesn’t matter that much.” For the time being, the Trump-Xi meeting has been postponed, but here are three forex trades which will deliver pips on time!
