$ETH In the past 24 hours, tensions between the US and China have remained high, fueled by ongoing trade disputes. China eased some tariffs on US imports, suggesting a possible softening of the trade war; however, Beijing swiftly dismissed President Trump’s claims of active negotiations, labeling them “fake news.” US stocks climbed, led by gains in tech shares, as investors closely tracked the tariff standoff. Despite the developments, no formal talks have been held, with China urging the US to remove unilateral tariffs to move toward a resolution. Meanwhile, the Trump administration continues to exert pressure, leaving the prospect of further economic decoupling and broader global market disruptions a growing concern.
