NEW YORK (AP) — U.S. stocks moved broadly higher in early trading Wednesday as investors grew more hopeful that the U.S. and China could make some progress in their latest round of trade negotiations.

China has reportedly signaled that it is still open to some kind of deal, even if it only addresses some of the trade issues. Both sides had held off from further escalating the feud up until this week, when the U.S. blacklisted a group of Chinese technology companies over alleged human rights violations.
