  • Trump-China Summit Ends With Few Concrete Deals Amid Market Sell-Off
    May 16, 2026, 4:46 AM EDT. President Donald Trump concluded a two-day summit in Beijing with vague trade deal announcements, signaling a shift in US-China economic leverage. Despite pledges of Chinese purchases of 200 Boeing aircraft and increased US oil, market reaction was negative: Dow futures dropped over 300 points, S&P 500 and Nasdaq futures fell by 1% and 1.4% respectively. The absence of clear commitments, especially on agriculture, contrasted sharply with the 2017 visit which featured $250 billion in announced deals. Investors responded with sell-offs in stocks and commodities, while Brent oil rose above $108 amid Middle East tensions. Analysts note Trump arrived with a weaker domestic position and no significant breakthrough was achieved.
