#USChinaTradeTalks The Americans and the Chinese have gathered again in London, supposedly to talk about trade. You know, like if you sell me this, then I raise the tariffs... Same old story, but with more ties and less ham.

The Americans brought three well-groomed ministers, and the Chinese brought the Deputy Chief of Beijing, who has more of a poker face than the guy at the local bar.

They say they signed a truce a couple of weeks ago, but this sounds more like when Uncle Filomeno says "I won't drink anymore" and then you see him with a glass in hand a little later.

The market is as restless as hens when a tractor passes by: the Hang Seng has risen, BTC is neither here nor there, and traders are looking sideways like a shepherd at the new dog.
