#TariffsPause Short-term financial market: Positive signals from US-China tensions

In the context where it seemed that US-China trade tensions would escalate again, the global financial market unexpectedly received positive signals.

President Trump has just reaffirmed his tough stance: he will not reduce taxes on Chinese goods unless he receives 'favorable concessions for the United States.' However, what is noteworthy is that China is taking a softer approach. According to Reuters, Beijing is waiving tariffs on some imported goods from the US that were subjected to high tariffs of 125%, a move believed to alleviate pressure from the domestic business community.

The Chinese Ministry of Commerce has even set up a special task force to compile a list of goods that could be exempted from tariffs and encourage domestic companies to proactively propose more – indicating an increasingly evident flexibility in trade policy.

Although both sides still maintain tough rhetoric, actual actions reveal a process of 'soft de-escalation' between the two largest economies in the world – a factor that could continue to support positive sentiment in the global financial market in the short term.

Conclusion: Stability in US-China trade relations is a key factor, and recent signals indicate that the risk of confrontation may be receding, opening up growth opportunities for stock markets, commodities, and even digital assets in the near future.
