U.S. Trade Policy Shifts
The Trump administration has slowed down its aggressive tariff approach by pausing many tariffs to allow for negotiations with other countries. This move resulted in a significant positive response from Wall Street, with the S&P 500 experiencing its best day since 2008. In contrast, China faced even steeper tariffs due to its retaliatory actions, making U.S.-China trade relations particularly strained. The change has positioned the U.S. administration to renegotiate trade terms while attempting to calm market volatility.
