Asian stocks traded in a tight range Thursday after the Federal Reserve reiterated it isn't in a rush to lower interest rates, and investors awaited the trade negotiations between China and the US. Stateside, the S&P 500 halted a two-day slide, led by chipmakers as Bloomberg News reported that the Trump administration plans to rescind Biden-era curbs for the industry. For more on the day's market outlook, we heard from Alex Wolf, Head of Asia Investment Strategy at JPMorgan Private Bank. He speaks with Bloomberg's Shery Ahn and Haidi Stroud-Watts.
Plus - President Donald Trump said Wednesday that he's unwilling to preemptively lower tariffs on China in order to unlock more substantive negotiations with Beijing on trade. His comments come ahead of bilateral talks between Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng this weekend in Switzerland. We get the latest from Bloomberg's US Treasury Reporter, Dan Flatley, along with Bloomberg's China Correspondent, Minmin Low.
