U.S. AND CHINA TO CUT TARIFFS, EASING TRADE TENSIONS

The U.S. and China agreed to sharply reduce tariffs, signaling a shift from conflict to cooperation between the world’s top economies.

Key points from Geneva talks:

🔸 Trump’s tariff on Chinese goods drops to 10% from 125%.

🔸 A separate 20% fentanyl-related tariff stays in place.

🔸 China cuts its retaliatory tariffs to 10% from 125%.

🔸 The cuts are temporary, lasting 90 days as talks continue.

Markets reacted strongly:

🔸 S&P 500 poised to recover losses since April.

🔸 Nasdaq-100 futures jumped 3.5%+.

🔸 Amazon, Apple, Tesla rose in premarket trading.

🔸 Dollar and bond yields climbed.

The trade war had stalled U.S.-China trade and hurt businesses. This deal raises hopes of avoiding the worst economic fallout.
