But not everyone is buying this optimistic narrative. And they include Ron Temple, the head of US equity at Lazard Asset Management.up 500-plus points, Lazard believed investors were overlooking signs that the conflict is more intense than it appears on the surface.

The world's largest economies have combated each other for years, hurling allegations that range from intellectual property theft to clampdowns on foreign investment.
