#USChinaTensions The escalating #USChinaTensions are shaking global markets as trade wars intensify. With U.S. tariffs on Chinese imports hitting 145% and China retaliating with 125% levies, stock markets are volatile, with the S&P 500 dropping 3.5% recently. Goldman Sachs cut China’s 2025 GDP forecast to 4%, citing trade disruptions. The U.S. dollar weakened, and Treasury yields spiked amid fears of China offloading bonds. Investors are fleeing to safe-haven assets like gold, which hit record highs. While Trump pauses tariffs on other nations, the U.S.-China rift threatens supply chains and inflation, leaving markets on edge.
