The FT said negotiators stepped up efforts following a telephone call between US President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping earlier this month. The FT said China subsequently responded to US requests to address a range of sticking points, with senior US and Chinese officials discussing the possibility of concessions. Meanwhile, the early weakness in the markets came amid lingering concerns about the global economic outlook as well as news of the resignation of UK Brexit Secretary Dominic Raab.
