High-level trade negotiations between the U.S. and China are underway in London, aiming to stabilize a fragile truce following the Geneva agreement that suspended most tariffs for 90 days. The U.S. delegation, led by Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, is engaging with Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng and his team. Key issues on the agenda include rare earth exports, advanced semiconductor access, and visa policies for Chinese students in the U.S. Despite a positive phone call between Presidents Trump and Xi, tensions persist over China's compliance with previous agreements. Markets have responded cautiously, with U.S. stock futures dipping slightly ahead of the talks. Asian markets, however, have shown optimism, with the Hang Seng Index rising 1.4% .
