Recall that Donald Trump shocked the financial markets on October 10 when he claimed that China was deceitful in some sensitive economic areas and warned that the US would impose a 100% tariff against several products. Later, he confirmed the new taxation, which was supposed to become official on November 1.
However, the leaders of the two superpowers have scheduled a meeting this week in Europe. In the meantime, both parties’ delegations have met on a couple of occasions to discuss the terms.
According to a Reuters report from earlier today, the POTUS said he was confident of striking a deal with President Xi Jinping, after top economic officials reached a preliminary consensus in the trade talks.
The Kobeissi Letter noted that this is the 10th and final step of Trump’s tariff plan, which includes announcing a new deal and a subsequent surge in the financial markets.
Since most of them are closed on Sunday, the only beneficiary for now is the crypto industry. The leader, bitcoin, has rocketed to a multi-day peak of almost $113,500 after breaking past $112,000 and $113,000 earlier today. The asset plunged hard during the October 10 massacre, dropping to as low as $101,000 on some exchanges.
