On May 12, 2025, the United States and China reached a temporary agreement aimed at reducing tensions in the ongoing trade war. Accordingly, the U.S. will lower import tariffs on Chinese goods from 145% to 30%, while China will reduce tariffs on U.S. goods from 125% to 10%. This agreement will be effective for 90 days, paving the way for further negotiations toward a comprehensive trade agreement.

This information has generated a positive wave in global financial markets. The S&P 500, Dow Jones, and Nasdaq all surged, reflecting investor optimism about the global economic outlook. Gold and Bitcoin prices also saw slight increases due to reduced risk appetite.

However, experts warn that this agreement is only temporary and many core issues remain unresolved. Therefore, investors and businesses need to closely monitor the developments of the negotiations in the near future to formulate appropriate strategies.
