Odds of a trade deal - and of survival for bull market - fading fast
IN THE grand diplomatic game of "Deal or No Deal", the odds of a deal - and of survival for the bull market in US stocks - are falling fast.

The stakes were high going into the week, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average and the Standard & Poor's 500 on the brink of record highs.
