Stock Market Live May 12: Trump Cuts China Tariff, S&P 500 (VOO) Soars
"The Trump Administration's agreement to pause most tariffs against China marks a significant moment in the ongoing trade tensions, with reduced tariffs seen as a win by investors."
"The pause in tariffs is temporary but represents a strategic move by the Trump Administration to alleviate immediate trade pressures, fostering a sense of optimism in the markets."
The Trump Administration announced a temporary 90-day pause on tariffs against China, reducing import tariffs on U.S. goods to 30%, while China's tariffs on U.S. goods drop to 10%. This strategic move was communicated as a victory by the President and appears to have positively influenced investor sentiment, as evidenced by a 3% increase in the Vanguard S&P 500 ETF. However, other measures against China will remain in effect, as noted by the White House, indicating that not all trade tensions have subsided.
