Despite China's denial, rumors of a reduction in tariffs on American goods, particularly artificial intelligence chips, have shaken global markets. The price of gold has sharply declined to $3,320 per ounce, while stock indices have risen, led by the technology and industrial sectors, and the US dollar has recovered.
In contrast, US monetary policy officials have warned about the potential negative effects of tariffs on inflation and the labor market, while recent American statements have appeared softer towards Beijing, bolstering hopes for a trade agreement.
The fate of tariff revenues remains a contentious point, as analysts question their adequacy to offset tax cuts and their impact on inflation. Markets are cautiously awaiting developments on this contentious issue and whether these rumors will change the course of trade relations between China and the United States.
