Key Developments

The U.S. and China agreed to a 90-day truce on tariffs, with the U.S. cutting rates from 145% to 30%, and China reducing import tariffs from 125% to 10%. This truce has eased fears of a trade war escalation, restoring investor confidence across global markets.

Analysts suggest this development may boost U.S. GDP by 0.4 percentage points, helping recover from a sluggish Q1 that saw a 0.3% contraction.

Investor Sentiment

The market’s positive momentum also pushed down gold prices, indicating a shift from safe havens to risk assets. Wall Street analysts are now closely watching upcoming data on retail sales and inflation to confirm if this rally is sustainable.

Outlook Ahead

While the truce brings short-term relief, geopolitical and economic uncertainties remain. Investors are advised to stay cautious and monitor future negotiations between the U.S. and China.
