The markets are swinging back to the positive as Donald Trump appears to be backing off of Syria attack talk. The US President tweeted he never said he’d attack Syria anytime soon, following yesterday’s tweet that warned Russian officials that missiles are coming. The first threat weighted the Dow and overnight pulled the Nikkei down 0.2 per cent. But, analysts say this updated Trump Tweet is already bringing life back to North American markets, as the Dow is expected to open higher later this morning.
