Stock market today: Dow, S&P 500, Nasdaq futures waver as US-China trade talks progress, inflation print looms
US stock futures wavered as Wall Street digested the progress on US-China trade negotiations and braced for the release of the May inflation report. Futures attached to the Dow Jones Industrial Average (YM=F), the benchmark S&P 500 (ES=F), and the tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 (NQ=F) hovered just below baseline. Meanwhile, on Tuesday in London, representatives from the US and China reached an agreement on a framework and implementation plan to ease trade tensions between the two countries. 'We have reached a framework to implement the Geneva consensus,' US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said. The commerce secretary indicated that the deal should resolve issues between the two countries on rare earths and magnets. Representatives will now take the proposal to their respective leaders for approval.

Since then, though, relations between the US and China deteriorated as both sides accused each other of violating the deal. The latest plan to resolve trade disputes followed two days of renewed trade talks in London. Nevertheless, the upbeat tone surrounding the meetings has helped lift market sentiment. Stocks edged higher on Tuesday, with the S&P 500 and Nasdaq now within striking distance of their all-time closing highs. Meanwhile, the May Consumer Price Index (CPI) report is set for release on Wednesday at 8:30 a.m. ET. Analysts expect to see that inflation increased slightly in the month that followed President Trump's introduction of higher tariff rates. With the Federal Reserve's next policy meeting next week, investors will be wary of any signs that costs associated with tariffs are being passed onto the consumer.

The US and China Are Talking Again. Don't Call It a Reset
Trade negotiations between the US and China in London mark a cautious step toward easing tensions, but not a new beginning. It's a short-term strategy to avoid further deterioration — a fragile truce that could be reversed at any moment. At the core is a deeper issue: National security. Both sides now view trade through that lens, and handshakes won't fix it. Washington must recognize that Beijing seeks respect and won't accept a one-sided, long-term deal. China, for its part, needs to understand that it won't be business as usual — and that the US will expect more concessions and market access to the world's second-largest economy. The alternative is continued hostility, which will make for a more chaotic global trade environment, and a more dangerous world.
