NEW YORK (AP) — U.S. stocks rose Thursday after the United States and United Kingdom announced athat would lower some tariffs between the two countries, the first of what Wall Street hopes will be enough agreements to keep a recession from hitting the economy.

The S&P 500 climbed 0.6% for its 11th gain in the last 13 days. The Dow Jones Industrial Average added 254 points, or 0.6%, and the Nasdaq composite rose 1.1%.It wasn’t just stocks. Bitcoin jumped back above $101,000, and crude oil prices climbed, while the price of gold eased back as investors felt less need for safety. Treasury yields rose on bets that more trade deals with other countries may mean the Federal Reserve won’t need to cut interest rates as sharply as feared in order to prop up the economy.Stocks and other financial markets have been swinging for weeks with hopes that President Donald Trump could reach such deals that would lower his tariffs, which many investors believe would cause a recession if left unchecked.

Trump on Thursday lauded what he called a “maxed-out trade deal” with the United Kingdom, which will keep 10% tariffs on U.K. products but would lower taxes on U.K. automobiles in exchange for greater access in the U.K. market for U.S. beef, ethanol and other products.Trump said it may take weeks to finalize all the details in the U.K. deal, but he also gave potentially encouraging updates on talks pending with an even bigger trading partner, China.

The world’s second-largest economy is

in Switzerland this weekend. China has been calling for the United States to cancel its tariffs, while Trump has said that he wouldn’t reduce his 145% tariffs on Chinese goods as a condition for negotiations.The Israeli Ministry of Education says it will place the students into other Jerusalem schools. But parents, teachers and administrators caution that closing the main schools for the children of Palestinian refugees in east Jerusalem promises a surge in absenteeism.

For students in the Shuafat refugee camp, like Laith, switching to Israeli schools means crossing the hulking barrier that separates their homes from the rest of Jerusalem every day.Some students aren’t even eligible to use the crossing, said Fahed Qatousa, the deputy principal of the UNRWA boys’ school in Shuafat. About 100 students in UNRWA schools in Shuafat have West Bank identifications, which will complicate their entry past the barrier, according to Qatousa.

“I will not in any way send Laith to a school where he has to go through a checkpoint or traffic,” Shweikeh said.In a statement to The Associated Press, the Israeli Ministry of Education said it was closing the schools because they were operating without a license. The agency promised “quality educational solutions, significantly higher in level than that provided in the institutions that were closed.” It said that it would “ensure the immediate and optimal integration of all students.”
