What will it take of the markets to truly care that no trade deal will be done?
Chris Temple wraps up the markets with a look into the recent trade comments out of both the US and China.

“A White House task force’s recommendation that President Donald Trump direct the federal government to buy more uranium from domestic producers sent shares of U.S. mining companies higher Thursday.”
“The purchase of uranium by the U.S. Defense Department is among the recommendations being made by the U.S. Nuclear Fuel Working Group, comprised of cabinet level and other high-ranking officials, according to two people familiar with the matter who requested anonymity to discuss non-public deliberations.”
“Energy Fuels Inc. surged 18%, the most in a year, while Ur-Energy Inc. rose as much as 16% for the biggest increase in two years.”
