President Trump hailed "progress" in weekend U.S.-China trade talks. Indexes are rangebound as leaders thrive. Tesla topped an entry with Palantir setting up. Walmart and Alibaba are on tap.

Global stock markets were up—along with the dollar—with sentiment further buoyed by the prospect that the Trump administration will announce a trade-deal framework with the U.K.

Stock futures jumped late Tuesday after government spokesperson said U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and top trade official Jamieson Greer would meet with their Chinese counterparts this week in Switzerland for preliminary trade negotiations.
