American actions raised serious concerns about the trade relations between the United States and China. The parties are now considering the possibility of imposing new tariffs on each other, which could force both countries to take retaliatory measures, leading to a more serious trade war. According to the Dow Jones index, it fell by more than 0.5%, while the Nasdaq and S&P 500 set new records. The support was provided by the actions of technology companies and consumer goods sectors, which benefited from the weakening of the economic perspective. "A key moment — a reduction in tensions between China and the US. This reduces the risks for global growth and stimulates investment," said economist Jeffrey Li. According to him, a further weakening of the dollar could improve the position of the fund's rating. Analysts note that the decision of China not to raise tariffs on goods from the US to the end of the year was an important factor in optimizing the trade war. Specialists predict, however, that the volatility will remain under control unless investors are satisfied. Investors are watching the possible sanctions against Taiwan and their impact on the energy sector.
