This news was out yesterday, late NY then into the Asia day, some confirmation coming now
A US official:
- US and China to hold staff-level talks before the G20
- Mnuchin And Liu spoke in a call last week
Yesterday this hit:
- US Tres Sec Mnuchin has spoken with China on trade
- China's top trade war negotiator to head to the US, pave way for Xi-Trump meeting
The first was late US time, a bit of a heads up
the second around Tokyo lunchtime, sent AUD (and others) higher.
