US stocks edge higher as traders weigh new spending bill against rising China tensions
US stocks edged higher on Wednesday as traders weighted the prospects of a new spending bill against inflamed tensions with China.
Fears of a worsening US-China relationship escalated after the US unexpectedly ordered the closure of China's consulate in Houston. The State Department said the decision was"to protect American intellectual property and Americans' private information." China quickly retaliated, saying it plans to exact"firm countermeasures" against the US. The tit-for-tat actions revive strains between the economic superpowers after a period of relative stability.
Amid the rising tensions, investors are pinning hopes that a new spending bill will be enacted before an upcoming deadline, with the existing $600 unemployment-insurance boost set to expire.
