StockmasterGood post, I was reading same on Singapore Strait Times which I read every evening.. noted why we have the weird volatility post. You can bet these two (Trump & Xi ) were talking.

Mr Xi’s speech came two days after US President Donald Trump suggested that he saw an end to the two countries' trade dispute, which has included tit-for-tat tariffs and threats for more punishing duties by both nations.
“President Xi and I will always be friends,” Mr Trump tweeted on Sunday. “China will take down its trade barriers because it is the right thing to do.”
