The major US stocks indices tilted higher on Tuesday after digesting President Trump's remarks at the New York Economic Club.

 

President Trump accused China for cheating in trade practices that have hurt the US economy and the American workers to develop its economy.

 

Trump added that previous US leaders should be blamed for allowing China to manipulate the trade agreements.

 

However, Trump stated that he expects signing the first phase of the final trade deal with China very soon.

 

Trump also renewed his attack on the Federal Reserve, and said that it is putting the US at a competitive disadvantage due to cutting the interest rates at a very slow pace.
