Wall Street surges on trade hopes

Hopes that a one-on-one Trump-Xi meeting at the G-20 summit could get trade negotiations back on track lifted US indices yesterday. We also await the result of the FOMC meeting later today, where talk of an easing bias is expected. Dovish comments from the ECB also lifted sentiment.
