THE "Santa Claus Rally" - the tendency of the US stock market to reach its annual peak in December - looks set to repeat itself this year.
US stocks surged to the brink of new record highs last week after a stellar November jobs report and signs of a compromise from Beijing, and those records are likely to be broken if the "phase one" US-China trade deal is somehow confirmed this week.
The US added 266,000 jobs in November, one of the largest increments this year, partly because of the cessation of a General Motors strike.
