Pre-market futures are climbing back to early-morning highs as talks between the U.S. and China resume in London. The NFIB Small-Business Index for May showed improvement, with a headline of 98.8, 3 points higher than expected. Market participants are eager for positive news, with key indices up in June.

Small businesses cite taxes as their top concern.
