We concluded that we have a shared interest. The consensus from both delegations is neither side wants to be decoupled, and what have occurred with these very high tariffs…was an equivalent of an embargo, and neither side wants that. We do want trade. We want more balance in trade. And I think both sides are committed to achieving that.

US and China Join Hands for a Healthy Trade

After recognizing the “importance of a sustainable, long-term, and mutually beneficial economic and trade relationship,” the US and China announced the tariff-easing deal. With this new development, a months-long trade deadlock between the US and China has been broken. This allows for renewed trade activity after many American businesses suspended orders amid high tariffs. Thus, the two countries have agreed to establish a “mechanism to continue discussions about economic and trade relations.”

Bitcoin & Crypto to See a Massive Rally

Notably, the US-China tariff deal has sparked a major rally in the crypto market, with top assets like Bitcoin hitting new all-time highs. The crypto market has now reached $3.37 trillion, marking a 1.82% hike over the past 24 hours.

The Bitcoin price has marked a notable uptick of 10% over the past seven days. Meanwhile, Ethereum and XRP have seen notable hikes of 41% and 12% over the past week. The US-China tariff deal comes following the much-hyped US-UK trade decision.
