Trading in China-focused ETFs soared Friday as U.S. President Donald Trump cast doubt on the details of a trade deal between the two nations.

More than 175,000 shares in the Xtrackers Harvest CSI 300 China A-Shares ETF, which buys stocks in Shanghai and Shenzhen, crossed the tape as of 9:30 a.m., the most before the open since Sept. 26, data compiled by Bloomberg show. The iShares China Large-Cap fund, the largest China ETF, saw its biggest pre-market session in a month.
