By Stephen Culp New York – Wall Street advanced on Thursday and rough prices when investors weighed new trade talks between US President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping against a wave of economic data before Friday’s important job report. In Choppy Trading, the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq were last modestly lower and the Dow was barely in a positive area, while the US Treasury yields swung and weakened gold. Trump spoke to XI on Thursday in an attempt to strip trade disputes between the world’s two largest economies that buffered the global economy, and they agreed to discuss further discussions, according to the US and Chinese summaries of their call. “It seems that the market accepts that if they talk, they will do nothing drastic, and if they do nothing drastic, it’s good to buy shares now,” said Thomas Martin, senior portfolio manager at Globalt in Atlanta. “People just guess and wonder and wonder how the wind is blowing and the wind continues to move.” “I think investors want to own shares and they are afraid to miss them, but they also don’t want to own shares if it’s going to be a disaster,” Martin added.
