China's yuan barely budges, stocks slip as investors weigh Phase 1 trade deal


SHANGHAI: China's yuan held steady while stocks fell on Thursday after Beijing and Washington signed a Phase 1 trade deal to defuse their trade war, with financial markets taking on a cautious tone as many thorny issues remained unresolved.

The partial trade agreement signed on Wednesday still retained tariffs imposed by the two sides over the last 18 months and structural differences that led to the conflict were not addressed.
