US markets remain mixed following Trump's comments on the talks

US indices remain mixed after Trump said they were "very close" to the deal, but warned that Beijing's desire for a deal was greater than his.

Car manufacturers are the leading winners in the S & P500 and those of the real estate companies are the worst losers. The pound remains under pressure, which boosted British stocks earlier in the day.

On the trade front, the situation remains unclear. Volatility remains low, keeping the indices in a narrow range, at a distance of 1% from recent records. The two sides will meet again later this month. Washington is expected to postpone its scheduled tariffs for December without even a deal. In contrast, markets are also awaiting the signing of a new law supporting Trump protesters in Hong Kong.

The euro remained weak with a fall of 0.2% for the day, the British pound also, with a decline of 0.6%. The Japanese yen remains unchanged. It trades at 108.66.

10-year US bonds remain unchanged, with yields at 1.77%.

WTI is down 0.3%, gold is advancing 0.1% on the day.
