Following the 90-day trade truce agreed upon by China and the United States, global stock markets have reacted positively, with the S&P 500, Dow Jones, and Nasdaq experiencing significant gains, ranging from 2.4% to 3.3%. The US Treasury Secretary, Scott Bessent, describes the talks as "productive" and "robust." A key aspect of the agreement is the reduction of tariffs on both sides. The US has agreed to lower its tariffs on Chinese goods from 145% to 30%, while China has agreed to reduce its tariffs on US imports from 125% to 10%.

    1. It's important to understand how quickly we were able to come to an agreement, which reflects that perhaps the differences were not so large as maybe thought.

    1. This was a larger-than-expected de-escalation and represents an upgrade to the outlook, though the negotiation process will likely remain challenging.
    1. And what had occurred with these very high tariffs ... was the equivalent of an embargo, and neither side wants that. We do want trade.
    2. The consensus from both delegations this weekend was neither side wants a decoupling.
    1. Businesses need predictability to maintain normal operations and make investment decisions.
    2. While the Chamber is encouraged by the decision, uncertainty remains.
    1. But is there things the two sides can do for one another that would make both sides happy, at least a little bit? Sure, there absolutely must be.
