MARKETS:
Stocks turn higher
Markets manage advance after a choppy morning as Wall Street weighs
Obama speech and eyes China trade dispute.

The U.S. placed tariffs on Chinese tires, and China struck back with a
probe of U.S. chickens. The tension needs to pass. Protectionism could

economy is stabilizing, but regulatory reform is needed to prevent
future collapses.
