The initial "phase one" trade pact with China appears to be in good shape and is likely to be signed around mid-November, although a finite date is still in question, U.S. Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross said on Friday.

"We're pretty comfortable that the phase one is in good shape," he told Fox Business Network in an interview.
