Meanwhile, investors are focused on new comments from the White House and China on the tariff battle.

Ray Dalio calls it the "3 percent solution," and it's gaining attention with White House officials and senior Republicans as a potential fix to America's fiscal woes even as the party pushes ahead with a mega spending bill that's roiling the bond markets.

Investors in American government debt are getting antsy. The yield on the 30-year Treasury bond passed 5 percent on Wednesday, with traders seemingly spooked over a Republican budget bill that could push U.S. fiscal debt into record territory. President Trump made no mention of that on Tuesday during his trip to Capitol Hill to whip up votes for the legislation. A reminder of the stakes: The bill could be key to Trump's domestic agenda, and would determine fiscal policy for years.
