WASHINGTON/BEIJING - U.S. officials on Friday signaled good news was coming after a second day of trade talks with China ended, boosting investor hopes that the world’s two largest economies would agree to cool the fires of their 15-month tariff war.
Major U.S. stock indexes were trading sharply higher on hopes the talks would produce some sort of a deal, with the S&P 500 indexAsked whether investors were right to be hopeful, U.S. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin told reporters at the White House “the stock market is always right.” Mnuchin, who participated in the talks this week, noted that Trump would be briefed on the outcome of the talks before his meeting with Liu.
Both sides have slapped duties on hundreds of billions of dollars of goods during the dispute, and Trump had threatened to raise tariffs to 30% from 25% on about $250 billion in Chinese goods on Oct. 15 if there was no progress on a deal. “Not only would it be of tangible benefit by breaking the impasse, but it would also create badly needed breathing space for both sides to reflect on the bigger picture,” the paper said.
Chinese officials also are offering to increase annual purchases of U.S. agricultural products, the Financial Times reported on Wednesday, citing unidentified sources. On Tuesday, the U.S. government widened its trade blacklist to include Chinese public security bureaus and some of China’s top artificial intelligence startups, punishing Beijing for its treatment of Muslim minorities.
