#TariffsPause
In the last 24 hours, tensions in relations between the U.S. and China have persisted, particularly due to trade disputes. China reduced some U.S. imports from its high tariffs, signaling a possible easing of the trade war, but Beijing quickly denied President Trump's claim of ongoing talks, calling it "fake news." U.S. stocks rose, driven by technology shares, as investors monitored the tariff stalemate. No formal negotiations have taken place, with China urging the U.S. to lift unilateral tariffs to resolve trade issues. Meanwhile, the Trump administration continues to apply pressure, with no clear resolution in sight, raising concerns about further economic decoupling and impacts on the global market.
