U.S.-China Trade Agreement: The U.S. and China have agreed to reduce tariffs from 125% to 10% for 90 days, while maintaining a 20% levy on fentanyl-related imports, resulting in a total tariff of 30%. This deal has significantly boosted investor confidence, leading to a surge in stock prices.
Market Reactions and Future Implications: The trade deal has sparked optimism among investors, reminiscent of the "Trump put," as major technology and consumer stocks rallied. However, there are concerns about rising costs and potential price increases due to anticipated surges in freight shipments and pent-up demand.
