# Wall Street climbs more than 1% after China moves on yuan

> U.S. stocks rose more than 1% on Tuesday after China's overnight intervention stabilized the yuan, which had slid to a more than decade low after the U.S. Treasury labeled Beijing a currency manipulator. China also set a slightly stronger fixing rate. Comments from White House adviser Larry Kudlow about hosting a Chinese delegation in September eased fears of further trade-war escalation.

## Why it matters

A firmer yuan and signs of renewed talks reduce the risk that currency moves become a new front in the U.S.-China trade war, which supports Chinese demand expectations for feed grains and meal. Lower tension also trims the risk premium on a broader trade-driven slowdown.
