US equity-index futures jumped in early trading and oil rebounded as President Donald Trump's administration signaled openness Sunday to a deal with China to quell fresh trade tensions while also warning that recent export controls announced by Beijing were a major barrier to talks. Vice President JD Vance called on Beijing to "choose the path of reason" in the latest spiraling trade fight between the world's two leading economies, claiming that Trump has more leverage if the fight drags on. Trump later posted a statement that hinted at a possible off-ramp for Chinese President Xi Jinping while issuing a veiled threat that a full trade war would wound China.

Plus - The bull market in US stocks is having its third anniversary on Sunday, but if history is any guide it needs to broaden out soon to keep running. The S&P 500 Index began its current bull run on Oct. 12, 2022, soaring 83% in that time and adding about $28 trillion in market value. While the gain was 88% before Friday's selloff on President Donald Trump's threat of a "massive increase" in tariffs on goods from China, the benchmark's 13% jump over the past 12 months is still twice the average rise in the third year of a bull market, according to CFRA Research.
