US stocks soar as Donald Trump backs down in global trade war

The White House Watch newsletter is now available for free, providing readers with valuable insights into the impact of the upcoming 2024 US election on Washington and the world. This newsletter offers a comprehensive guide to understanding the political landscape and its implications on a global scale.

In a surprising turn of events, President Donald Trump has announced a 90-day pause in additional tariffs on numerous countries that are willing to engage in negotiations with the United States. This move signifies a potential retreat from the brink of a full-blown trade war, leading to a positive response from Wall Street. Following Trump’s announcement, the S&P 500 surged more than 7% and the Nasdaq Composite saw an increase of almost 9%.

The financial markets reacted favorably to Trump’s decision, with approximately $3.2 trillion added to the market value of the S&P 500 by 2pm in New York. Despite the overall positive sentiment, Trump targeted China for further tariffs, raising additional levies on the nation to 125%. This escalation in trade tensions with China reflects the ongoing challenges in the global economic landscape.

In a Truth Social post, Trump explained his reasoning behind the tariff pause, highlighting the willingness of over 75 countries to negotiate with the US without retaliating against American tariffs. However, he expressed disappointment in China’s response, leading to the decision to increase tariffs on the country. This move comes after a tumultuous week in global markets, marked by significant losses in equity prices, bond sell-offs, and a decline in oil prices.

The announcement of the tariff pause by Trump was met with praise from Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, who emphasized the readiness of the world to collaborate with the US in addressing global trade issues. Lutnick also highlighted the contrasting approach taken by China, which he described as lacking respect in its trade practices. The significant shift in trade policy is seen as a strategic move by the US to navigate complex economic challenges.

The decision to pause tariffs ushers in a new phase of trade negotiations between the US and its key trading partners. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Trade Negotiator Jamieson Greer are set to lead discussions with Japan in an effort to lower tariffs and resolve commercial tensions. This proactive approach reflects a willingness to engage in constructive dialogue to address trade imbalances and promote economic stability.

As the global economy navigates uncertainties in trade policy, the impact of Trump’s tariff pause will be closely monitored by market participants and policymakers. The shift in strategy towards a more collaborative approach signals a potential easing of trade tensions and a focus on finding mutually beneficial solutions. Stay informed with the White House Watch newsletter to gain valuable insights into the evolving political and economic landscape.
