#TariffsPause TariffsPause Despite the Chinese denial, rumors of tariff reductions on American goods, particularly in artificial intelligence chips, have shaken global markets. The price of gold has sharply declined to $3,320 per ounce, while stock indices, led by the technology and industrial sectors, have risen, and the US dollar has recovered.

In contrast, US monetary policy officials warned of the potential negative effects of tariffs on inflation and the labor market, while recent American statements appeared more conciliatory towards Beijing, boosting hopes for a trade agreement.

The fate of tariff revenues remains a contentious point, as analysts question whether they will be sufficient to offset tax cuts and their impact on inflation. Markets are cautiously awaiting developments on this complex issue and whether these rumors will change the course of trade relations between China and the United States.
