Major US stock indices rose significantly on Tuesday, which was due to the fading concerns about the increased tensions in US trade after Chinese President Xi Jinping promised to cut import tariffs.
Investors also estimated higher than expected data on producer prices for March. As the report of the US Department of Labor showed, the producer price index (CPI) in March grew by 0.3% over the previous month, adjusted for seasonal fluctuations. Without taking into account volatile prices for food and energy, prices in March rose by 0.3% compared to the previous month. Economists had expected that the overall index in March rose by 0.1%, while the base index increased by 0.2%. Compared to the same period of the previous year, the overall index rose in March by 3%, and the index excluding food and energy carriers - by 2.7% against the forecasted + 2.9% and + 2.6%, respectively.
Quotes of oil jumped by about 3.7% on Tuesday, on the way to the largest two-day rally in almost a month, as investors became more confident that a brewing trade dispute between the US and China could be resolved without damage to the global economy.
Almost all components of the DOW index finished trading in positive territory (29 out of 30). The leader of growth was the shares of The Boeing Company (BA, + 3.76%). Outsider were the shares of NIKE, Inc. (NKE, -0.28%).
Almost all sectors of S & P recorded a rise. The commodity sector grew most (+ 3.0%). The decrease was shown only by the utilities sector (-0.4%).

U.S. stock-index futures surged on Tuesday, as a conciliatory tone of the statement of China's President Xi Jinping at the Boao Forum for Asia helped soothe investor worries about escalating U.S.-China trade tensions. In his speech, the PRC's leader announced plans to further open up the Chinese economy, including lowering import tariffs for automobiles and other products, enforcing the legal intellectual property of foreign companies and improving the investment environment for international companies.

Canadian municipalities issued $8.2 billion in building permits in February (-2.6%), following a 5.2% gain in January. Single-family homes as well as the commercial and institutional components saw lower levels of construction intentions in February.
The value of permits for single-family dwellings decreased 1.6% (-$41.3 million) in February, largely due to Ontario where intentions fell 6.9% (-$84.2 million) compared with January. The census metropolitan areas (CMAs) of Toronto (-13.6% or -$67.1 million) and Oshawa (-64.7% or -$65.7 million) posted the largest declines.

The index for final demand less foods, energy, and trade services rose 0.4 percent in March, the same as in both February and January. For the 12 months ended in March, prices for final demand less foods, energy, and trade services increased 2.9 percent, the largest advance since 12-month percent change data were available in August 2014.

The trend in housing starts was 226,842 units in March 2018, compared to 225,804 units in February 2018, according to Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC). This trend measure is a six-month moving average of the monthly seasonally adjusted annual rates (SAAR) of housing starts.
"In March, the national trend in housing starts was stable for the fifth consecutive month, as diverging trends for multi-unit and single-detached dwellings continue to offset each other," said Bob Dugan, CMHC's chief economist. "Over this period, multi-unit starts have trended higher in most major urban centres while single-detached starts have trended lower."
