A high-stakes US-China summit next week is putting investors on edge, with major implications looming for sectors from rare earths and defense to agricultural products.
US President Donald Trump is slated to meet a host of Asian leaders during his three-nation tour of the region beginning Sunday, with a Thursday sit-down with Chinese President Xi Jinping the focus of attention. His visit coincides with the Association of Southeast Asian Nations summit in Malaysia and that of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation in South Korea. He’ll also have a stopover in Tokyo.
