Global shares ascended to a new intraday high on Tuesday as recent signs of cooling trade tensions between the U.S. and China bolstered investor confidence. Market participants are closely watching for policy announcements from central banks across the globe, including anticipated moves from the U.S. Federal Reserve. This week's Federal Reserve meeting is expected to culminate in a 25 basis point interest rate cut, a development that has driven investor optimism and propelled stocks upward.
The U.S. stock market showed modest gains, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average leading the charge due to a substantial uptick in Sherwin-Williams shares following its earnings report. Additionally, anxiety regarding the U.S.-China trade negotiations has subsided, ahead of a crucial meeting between U.S. President Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping slated for Thursday.
As investors anticipate key earnings from tech giants like Microsoft, Apple, and Amazon, which heavily influence market trajectories, global indices reflected modest shifts. The day's activities also saw fluctuations in oil and currency markets amidst ongoing geopolitical tensions and economic policy considerations.
