#USChinaTradeTalks

High-level trade talks between the United States and China resume today in London, aimed at renewing the temporary truce reached in Geneva last month and easing the dispute over tariffs and oversight of rare metals and technology. The discussions focus on easing U.S. restrictions on chip exports in exchange for commitments from Beijing to swiftly re-export rare earth metals. President Trump described the talks as "good" and noted a tangible improvement as long as the United States continues to receive "positive reports" from its delegation in London. This shift in trajectory boosts optimism in Asian markets, with a noticeable rise in technology and energy asset indices.
