US equities extended their gains after President Trump told reporters that US was having daily ongoing talks with China.
"Well, they had a meeting this morning... we may reveal it later, but they had meetings this morning, and we've been meeting with China."
Trump added, when asked for more details:
"...it doesn't really matter who 'they' are."

This lifted Nasdaq to a 2.5% gain on the day...
The S&P is at a key technical resistance level once again...

How long until China denies... again?
