Trade optimism after tariff delay and ECB massive bond buying program to boost the market

The stock market futures traded on the positive zone as positivism brewed after President Trump decided to delay tariff to 15th October as goodwill before trade negotiation. China, on the other hand, exempts 16 products from tariff implementation this month.

Today, ECB cut deposit rates by 10 bps and announced a massive bond-buying program to incite growth. Euro falls across the global board after the announcement.
