Trump-Xi Summit: Leaders Discuss Farm and Oil Trade | The Opening Trade 5/14/2026

Trump’s summit with Xi Jinping pulled the spotlight from the war in Iran that has left a key conduit for Middle East oil flows all but closed for more than two months. The Chinese leader signaled that Beijing is moving toward greater openness as traders look out for business deals and purchasing commitments from the world’s second-biggest economy.

The relentless rally in technology stocks is showing little sign of cooling as a blockbuster share sale and Cisco earnings highlighted the momentum around artificial intelligence.
