US equity-index futures rose and oil rebounded after President Donald Trump signaled openness to a deal with China, easing nerves after a flare-up in trade tensions. S&P 500 contracts gained 1.3% and Nasdaq 100 futures 1.8% as the administration softened its rhetoric following Trump’s threat of 100% tariffs in response to Chinese export controls. Ten-year Treasury futures opened higher, oil added 1.7%. Silver swung near a record amid a historic London short squeeze, gold set a new peak, and cryptocurrencies steadied.
