WS #15110
The US and China have extended their trade truce and agreed to further tariff cuts, providing a temporary reprieve for global supply chains and multinational corporations. This development dampens the immediate bearish outlook for trade-sensitive sectors and supports risk assets. However, the extension is viewed as a tactical pause rather than a structural resolution, leaving long-term tariff risks intact. The move is particularly positive for importers and consumer goods companies that had been pricing in worst-case tariff scenarios.
