FED patience




Outlook 04/11: U.S. stock futures are now up as Wall Street sees some trade optimism following yesterday's release of Fed minutes, which reaffirmed the central bank's patience regarding future rate hikes. The timing of a U.S.-China trade agreement remains unclear, but the two countries have "pretty much agreed on an enforcement mechanism," U.S. Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin declared. "If we can complete this agreement, this will be the most significant changes to the economic relationship between the U.S. and China in really the last 40 years," Mnuchin added, saying he has another call scheduled this morning with Chinese Vice Premier Liu He.
