Wall Street saw a rebound on Wednesday after being hit by a deep sell-off this week. Market players have taken a cautious approach on the back of growing tensions between the U.S. and China. President Donald Trump fuelled market concerns on Wednesday by stating that China “broke the deal” in their ongoing trade talks.

“By the way, you see the tariffs we’re doing? Because they broke the deal. They broke the deal,” Trump said. “So they’re flying in, the vice premier tomorrow is flying in — good man — but they broke the deal. They can’t do that, so they’ll be paying.”
