Core Viewpoint - The consensus reached during the China-US Kuala Lumpur economic and trade consultations is expected to stabilize trade relations, improve China's external circulation, and reduce market risk premiums [1][3]. Macro - The reduction and continued suspension of tariffs will help improve China-US trade and support Chinese exports. The US will cancel the 10% "fentanyl tariff" on Chinese goods and suspend the 24% equivalent tariff for one year, leading to a decrease in the overall effective tariff rate from 27% to 17% by 2025 [4][5]. - The expected increase in Chinese exports to the US could be around 10% due to the lowered tariff rate [4]. Export Controls - The US will suspend the implementation of the "50% penetration rule" for export controls for one year, which will benefit trade in key areas between China and the US. China will also relax certain export controls for rare earths and lithium battery materials for one year [6]. International Trade Costs - The suspension of port fees and related measures by both countries is expected to lower international trade costs and enhance shipping demand, particularly for agricultural products [7][19]. Agriculture - The consensus to expand agricultural trade is expected to accelerate trade in agricultural products, with projections indicating a slight decrease in China's soybean import share from the US in 2025 [7][20]. Technology - The outcomes of the consultations are favorable for the Chinese technology sector, particularly in terms of tariff reductions on electronic products and the suspension of certain export control measures, although restrictions on advanced technology access remain [25]. Commodities - The cancellation and delay of tariff barriers are expected to boost short-term demand for various commodities, including copper and aluminum, while also supporting the prices of precious metals like gold and silver [27][28]. Internet - The reduction in tariffs is expected to benefit cross-border e-commerce platforms, allowing them to maintain competitive pricing in the US market [31]. Textiles and Apparel - The easing of trade tensions may help stabilize the utilization rate of textile and apparel production capacity in China, benefiting companies that have not fully relocated their production [33]. Home Appliances - The reduction in tariff pressure is expected to provide direct benefits to the home appliance sector, improving the profitability of companies heavily reliant on exports to the US [36][37].
