|Markets witnessed a dramatic turnaround in the risk sentiment after White House Adviser Peter Navarro retracted on his earlier comments that the US-China trade deal is over, as he spoke in an interview with the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) in the last minutes.

He said, the comment was not about phase 1 deal, which remains in place.
