Good morning traders, we had an eventful overnight session with Trump trade adviser Peter Navarro announcing the trade deal between the US and China was “over,” which saw a dip lower in markets. Shortly after, President Trump tweeted that the deal is “fully intact”. Navarro then retracted his statement claiming that it was taken out of context. Equities in the overnight Asia session were green across the board with the Nikkei up by 0.9%.
