World shares retreat despite Trump’s trade truce with Xi

World shares retreated on Friday after U.S. stocks fell back following President Donald Trump’s meeting with China’s leader, Xi Jinping.  The future for S&P 500 rose 0.6% while that for the Dow Jones was up less than 0.1%.  In early European trading, Germany’s DAX slid 0.3% to 24,048.79. Britain’s FTSE 100 shed 0.2% to 9,738.53. In Paris, the CAC 40 fell 0.1% to 8,148.20.

Despite Trump and Xi’s agreement to extend a truce in the trade war between the two largest economies, Chinese markets declined on concerns over persisting tensions between Washington and Beijing.
