Core Viewpoint - The recent U.S.-China trade negotiations have led to significant reductions in bilateral tariffs, which is expected to positively impact both economies and financial markets [2][6][10]. Group 1: Bilateral Tariffs - The U.S. has reduced additional tariffs on Chinese goods to 10% and plans to suspend 24% of tariffs for 90 days after the "liberation day," resulting in an average tariff reduction from 125% to 10% [2]. - China will cancel 91% of its retaliatory tariffs on U.S. goods, retaining only 10% and suspending 24% of its countermeasures for 90 days [2][7]. - The average U.S. tariff on Chinese goods is expected to decrease from 42.7% to 22.7% as cooperation on the fentanyl issue progresses [2][7]. Group 2: Economic Impact - The reduction in tariffs is projected to significantly lessen the negative impact on U.S.-China trade, with an estimated 16% decline in China's exports to the U.S. from May to December 2025 [8]. - The overall export growth for China to the U.S. is expected to decline by 11.7% for the year, with potential losses in export value ranging from $200 billion to $300 billion [8]. - The easing of tariffs is anticipated to reduce the adverse effects on domestic demand, manufacturing investment, and employment, although certain sectors heavily reliant on exports to the U.S. may still face challenges [8][9]. Group 3: Market Outlook - The adjustment in tariff policies has improved market sentiment, leading to a recovery in A-shares and Hong Kong stocks, with expectations of a more stable market environment [10]. - The bond market has reacted to the positive news, with long-term interest rates rising, while short-term rates remain strong, indicating a potential opportunity for bond market positioning [11]. - U.S. stock markets are likely to experience a positive trend due to reduced trade tensions, although concerns over lingering tariff risks and high interest rates may limit upward movement [12]. Group 4: Currency and Commodity Outlook - The decline in tariffs is expected to bolster market risk appetite, leading to a potential appreciation of the RMB in the short term, while the USD may face mixed pressures depending on future tariff developments [13]. - Gold prices may experience short-term volatility due to increased risk appetite, but long-term uncertainties surrounding U.S. economic conditions and monetary policy could support a rebound in gold prices [13].
