(Reuters) - U.S. stock future opened higher on Sunday after Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said on Sunday that the United States and China agreed to drop their tariff threats to work on a wider trade agreement.

The S&P 500 E-mini futures opened about 0.8 percent higher, the Nasdaq 100 e-minis opened nearly 1 percent higher with Dow e-minis <1YMcv1> also up 0.9 percent.

Mnuchin and U.S. President Donald Trump's top economic adviser, Larry Kudlow, said an agreement reached by Chinese and U.S. negotiators on Saturday set up a framework for addressing future trade imbalances, effectively putting any trade war between the world's largest economies on hold.
