$ETH Short-term financial market: Positive signals from US-China tensions

In the context where US-China trade tensions seem to be escalating again, the global financial market unexpectedly received positive signals.

President Trump has reaffirmed his hardline stance: he will not reduce tariffs on Chinese goods without receiving 'favorable concessions for the United States.' However, what is noteworthy is that China is taking a softer approach. According to Reuters, Beijing is exempting certain imported goods from the US from the exorbitant 125% tariff, a move believed to alleviate pressure from the domestic business community.

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

Although both sides 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 the stock market, commodities, and even digital assets in the near future.
