The shift in sentiment is attributed to Trump’s statement that the U.S. does not seek to harm China, and Beijing’s restraint from new retaliatory tariffs despite defending its export restrictions on rare earths.
Analysts suggest the current market activity is a “dip buying” response, referencing a pattern of market recovery following trump’s trade-related announcements. Though, continued tariff uncertainty remains a concern.
Prior to Trump’s threats, markets had reached record highs, driven by AI advancements and expectations of potential U.S. interest rate cuts. The American bull market recently celebrated its third anniversary, prompting questions about a potential correction.
