Trade concerns have weighed on stocks in recent months in the midst of the escalating trade war between the US and China. However, stocks made a move higher in the US after President Trump said last Friday that he was hopeful that America and China could strike a deal on trade.

Would this have an impact on markets this week?

We speak to Kingsley about this.

We also discuss the US dollar, sterling and oil.
