And more positive trade developments also helped drive the gains after President Trump told reporters the U.S. and China are "in the final throes" of reaching a deal. The comments came after China said earlier in the day that its top trade envoy and other senior officials spoke by phone with U.S. negotiators.

China's commerce ministry said Vice Premier Liu He and other senior officials spoke with U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer and Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin. U.S. trade sources confirmed the call with FOX Business.

Chinese state-run news agency Xinhua said the two sides discussed "solving issues regarding each other’s core concerns, reached consensus on properly resolving related issues and agreed to maintain communication on remaining issues in consultations on the Phase 1 deal."
