what’s going on with the #USChinaTradeTalks as of June 2025:

🇺🇸🇨🇳 What’s Happening?

The U.S. and China are having important trade talks in London.

They’re discussing things like:

Access to semiconductors (computer chips)

Rare earth minerals (used in tech products)

Export restrictions (rules about what each country can sell to the other)

💬 Why Now?

Tensions had cooled down after a small agreement in Geneva last month, but new U.S. complaints about Chinese export limits brought problems back.

Both sides are trying to avoid damaging their economies further.

🌍 What’s China Doing?

China has allowed some exports of rare earth materials again — seen as a friendly gesture.

But their exports to the U.S. have dropped by 35% in May, a big hit.

💼 What’s the U.S. Doing?

U.S. might ease some restrictions on chip exports to China.

President Trump may allow exports like jet engines to help negotiations.

📈 Market Reaction

Stock prices for chip companies like Nvidia and AMD went up.

U.S. bond yields went down, and the dollar got weaker — showing markets are reacting positively.

🚦 Bottom Line:

Both countries want to ease tensions and reach a deal — but it’s still uncertain how the talks will end. They're playing a high-stakes game, each with leverage, trying to protect their economies and tech industries.
