Obviously. Trump has caved on the china tariffs, which is what caused it to tank in the first place.

He didn’t cave. It’s the art of the deal. Why no credit, at all, for anything he or the administration does. What is wrong with negotiating and coming to a more equitable and fair solution for both countries. Isn’t the left all about equity and fairness?!

The deal ended up meeting nearly all of Beijing’s core demands.

“This is arguably the best outcome that China could have hoped for – the US backed down,” said Mr Trey McArver, co-founder of research firm Trivium China. “Going forward, this will make the Chinese side confident that they have leverage over the US in any negotiations.

Trump got trumped and out played.

He caved. There isn't a single objective media source or economist who says otherwise.

The US is in a worse position today than if Trump had done nothing on tariffs at all back in January.

Good grief.

He was surprised by the market response…has he never spoken to an economist in his life.

Also, FYI everyone, Bessent just said 30% is the floor. Prepared to get screwed even more by the felon in [checks calendar] 90 days.

It will back to Biden economy with 0% tariff, and he will declare victory and soooo tired of winning.
Him and his cronies, and some who know how to benefit from this situation are already pocketing millions from the stock market turmoil he purposely created.
This is basically all about. Wealth movement, securing wealth till the next seven generations.

Until the next round of "beautiful tariffs" is announced.

We will have shortages nonetheless because the supply chain moves slowly. Many companies cut back on orders in the face of the massive tariffs with China.

And, let's face it, who believes this will last? If I were WalMart I would not order goods from Asia until 2028.

This sundowning POTUS can and will do almost anything at any time.

Trump is chaotic. Market does not like chaos.

“Mr Xi Jinping’s decision to stand his ground against US President Donald Trump could hardly have gone any better for the Chinese leader.

After two days of high-stakes talks in Switzerland, trade negotiators from the world’s biggest economies announced on May 12 a massive de-escalation in tariffs. In a carefully coordinated joint statement, the US slashed duties on Chinese products to 30 per cent from 145 per cent for a 90-day period, while Beijing dropped its levy on most goods to 10 per cent.

The dramatic reduction exceeded expectations in China, and sent the dollar and stocks soaring – providing some much-needed market relief for Mr Trump, who is facing pressure as inflation looks set to speed up at home. Chinese equities also surged.

The deal ended up meeting nearly all of Beijing’s core demands. The elevated “reciprocal” tariff for China, which Mr Trump set at 34 per cent on April 2, has been suspended – leaving America’s top rival with the same 10 per cent rate that applies to Britain, a long-time ally.

The US met Beijing’s call for a point person for talks by setting up a mechanism headed by US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent. And the two sides agreed to take “aggressive actions” to stem the flow of fentanyl, which could eventually lead to the elimination of the additional 20 per cent tariff.

“This is arguably the best outcome that China could have hoped for – the US backed down,” said Mr Trey McArver, co-founder of research firm Trivium China. “Going forward, this will make the Chinese side confident that they have leverage over the US in any negotiations.”

Libs are upset because the US/Trump got played. What aren't you upset too?

Exactly, the deal is the deal. For all the bluster we're now at 30% higher prices.

It’s bad enough that Trump’s in charge but how do people not understand basic math? It’s 30% of the imported cost, not price! So if a company previously paid $5 for some plastic sh*t with no tariff and then charged customers $20, the new tariff will be $1.50 (ie 30% of $5) and the new price would be $21.50 (plus a further adjustment of sales tax) if they pass on the full tariff.

Right, it’s really not that much. And he’ll probably negotiate down to zero, china just needs to make more concessions such as buying more beef. We are on the right track with Trump at the helm.

Wrong. You’re cr*p at math too. It’s only not much on cheap rubbish as its import cost is low. And even then, it amounts to an 8% increase in price. On your iPhone, dishwasher, building products, pharmaceuticals or laptop, the % increase will be even higher.

So consider that anybody spending $50,000 a year on imported stuff (including imported foods), will pay a minimum of $4,000 more. If you are thinking this is about a bit more access for beef (what happened to moving factories and jobs to the US?!) then you’re dreaming.

So buy less stuff? And more American stuff? Sorry it’s really not that hard guys.

Oh, wow. SMH. You gotta PhD in economics?
