Meanwhile, America and China continue to meet over phase one of their pivotal trade deal. Futures in Tokyo, Hong Kong and Sydney are positive and will likely trade upward overnight<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Here in Canada, CN Rail<\/a> shareholders rejoiced over the end of the week-long strike<\/a> and nudged the stock up 0.3%.
