The markets are eagerly awaiting developments in trade talks between the U.S. and China. U.S. President Donald Trump signaled that he was prepared to lower tariffs on all Chinese goods to 80%. He added that the decision would ultimately be up to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent.Trump’s post on Truth Social, dated May 9 | Source: Truth SocialWhile this rate remains prohibitively high for many exporters, it is lower than the previous 145% imposed earlier. More importantly, Trump’s rhetoric suggests a tone of de-escalation ahead of the crucial trade negotiations with China. The talks could help reduce reciprocal tariffs between the two countries, as China had retaliated with its own 125% tariff on U.S. goods.Strategy, Palantir, among the biggest losers, gold gainsAmong tech stocks, Palantir was among the worst performers, down 2.23% today.
