NEW YORK, Sept 14 (Reuters) - An index of world stock markets climbed to its highest in over a week on Friday as expectations grew that the United States and China would start fresh trade talks, while an interest rate hike in Turkey supported the lira and emerging markets.
The MSCI All-Country World index .MIWD00000PUS , which tracks shares in 47 countries, rose 0.24 percent and touched its highest since Sept. 4.

Chinese officials welcomed an invitation from U.S. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin to new trade talks. But President Donald Trump tempered market expectations, tweeting on Thursday that Washington was "under no pressure to make a deal with China." Trump administration is readying a final list of $200 billion worth of imports from China, the world's No. 2 economy, that it plans to impose tariffs on in the coming days. That move would escalate the trade war between the two countries and could significantly slow global growth.
