First of all, there's a small matter of a deal between the US and China.

It looks like they've done a one year stop on all tariffs and all punishments for each other, as it were.

I see that Donald Trump and President Trump is eschewing his normal penchant for hyperbole by saying that this deal is a 12 out of 10.

But the FT this morning, an analysis piece that doesn't make it into the main paper, is saying that the big winner here is China establishing its ability to force America to roll back on tariffs.

Now, Aidan, we had some big numbers coming out from a couple of very notable companies over the last 24 hours.

The first of those is Apple.

It announced record quarterly sales.

Now, another company that announced very strong quarterly sales was Amazon.

Its share price jumped 13% on the back of very strong results.

Okay, and thanks for that.
