US-China Trade Talks: Tariff Easing Sparks Market Optimism

U.S. President Donald Trump’s proposal to reduce tariffs on Chinese imports from 145% to 80% has emerged as a significant development in global markets. The announcement came ahead of ongoing U.S.-China trade negotiations in Geneva, Switzerland, and has sparked optimistic expectations among investors.

At the heart of the discussions is the goal of restoring economic balance between the two countries and stabilizing the flow of trade. The Chinese side considers the proposed 80% tariff still too high and continues to push for a reduction below 60%. The U.S., on the other hand, insists that any tariff reductions must be tied to specific structural commitments from China.

These developments have particularly affected the shares of companies in the technology and manufacturing sectors. Positive sentiment surrounding the talks has led to a rise in stock prices for several China-based firms.

A potential agreement between the parties could have major implications not only for the U.S. and China but also for the broader global trade landscape. Official statements expected in the coming days are likely to play a key role in shaping market direction
