Nov 19 (Reuters) - Futures for Canada’s main stock index was little changed on Monday amid conflicting signals of a potential truce in the U.S.-China trade dispute.
Last week, U.S. President Donald Trump said he might not impose more tariffs on Chinese goods after Beijing sent a list of measures it was willing to take to resolve trade tensions.
However, over the weekend, deep divisions between the United States and China over trade and investment stymied cooperation among Asia-Pacific leaders, who failed to agree on a communique at a summit in Papua New Guinea.
