U.S.-China Extend Trade Truce to January as Trump and Xi Hold Summit

U.S. stock index futures slipped on Sept. 24 as market participants weighed an announced two-month extension of the U.S.-China trade truce through Jan. 10 ahead of bilateral White House talks between President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping. The summit follows a tech rally where Nvidia paused a six-day winning streak. Investors are monitoring potential easing of export curbs on artificial intelligence chips, with CEO Jensen Huang scheduled to participate. Nvidia's fiscal third-quarter revenue guidance of $108.0 billion explicitly assumes zero China data center compute revenue, rendering any diplomatic or licensing breakthrough pure upside.
