Markets believe U.S., China will find trade compromise – Sevens Report Research
According to Sevens Report Research, investors remain largely unfazed by renewed U.S.-China trade tensions, with markets betting that both sides will ultimately compromise. Tom Essaye noted that while President Trump’s tariff threats and Beijing’s export limits on rare earths have raised concerns, optimism ahead of a planned meeting between Trump and Xi Jinping has kept sentiment stable. Essaye said “scary headlines” are unlikely to drive markets lower as long as traders believe a full-blown trade war can be avoided. For now, stock direction remains more influenced by economic growth and AI enthusiasm.
