NEW YORK (AP) — Investor hopes for a U.S.-China trade deal pushed stocks broadly higher in early trading Monday.

The world's two largest economies have pulled back from an immediate escalation of their damaging trade war since they started negotiating last month. President Donald Trump postponed a deadline for raising tariffs on more Chinese goods, citing progress in a series of talks. Now, media reports say the nations could strike a deal this month.
