[#美国加征关税 Emergency News] The US and China have reached a temporary ceasefire agreement on rare earths, temporarily avoiding the "tariff nuclear explosion"
▌48-hour life-and-death negotiations in a London backroom
After urgent consultations between the US and China in London, a "trade pain relief" agreement was reached:
✅ US concession: Easing some rare earth controls
✅ China countermeasure: Immediate resumption of rare earth exports from Shenzhen (companies like Jinli Permanent Magnet quickly obtain export permits)
⚠️ Tariff cliff temporarily paused:
• US tariffs on China reduced from 145% to 30%
• China's tariffs on the US reduced from 125% to 10%
The ultimate countdown has begun: If no breakthrough is achieved by August 10, the original tariffs will automatically restart!
▌Shadow war continues, danger lurks
US underhanded tactics:
• Chip and aircraft equipment bans remain unchanged
• The White House claims "34% reciprocal tariffs endorsed by the court" (Trump hints at activating the "trade cannon" at any time)
China's trump card:
• Exports to the US plummeted by 34.5% in May, setting a record since the pandemic
• Holding rare earth leverage to force the US back to the negotiating table
🌍 Global economic ICU alarm sounded
• The World Bank overnight lowered the global growth forecast for 2025 to 2.3%
• ECB President Lagarde urgently warns: "Another trade war, and the global economy goes into ICU!"
• The EU/Japan/Mexico collectively press, and the aerospace industry begs to "stop the fire"
⚡ Experts' harsh words expose the essence of the ceasefire
"This is not an agreement! It is a 'Syria-style ceasefire'!" (The Middle East mineral stalemate remains unresolved; the survival of the agreement relies entirely on the leaders' will)
📈 The market falls into a split frenzy
• 🚀 Rare earth stocks skyrocket: Shenzhen sector instantly turns into a "printing press"
• 💸 The dollar exchange rate bizarrely plummets
• US companies stage a "dual performance":
→ Outwardly cheering "long live the suspension of execution"
→ Secretly hoarding goods to guard against an August explosion
💥 Doomsday prophecy hangs high
"Trump's tariff gun is loaded, countdown for Beijing's rare earth counterattack has begun... the global economy is engaged in a death gamble!"
