🗞️ Market Developments

 

📉 U.S.–China Tariff Rollbacks
The U.S. has lowered headline tariffs from 145% to 30%, while China has responded by reducing its own to 10%. Smaller shipments, previously taxed at 120%, will now face a reduced 54% duty. In a major easing gesture, Beijing has also temporarily lifted export restrictions on 28 American companies previously flagged for military-related concerns.

 

💰 Massive Saudi Investment Commitment
Saudi Arabia has pledged a $600 billion investment into U.S. sectors ranging from energy to advanced technology. Treasury Secretary Bessent indicated over two dozen projects are under discussion, with formal announcements expected upon Trump’s return. One standout deal includes a $20B+ DataVolt-Supermicro (SMCI) tech initiative.

 

🏦 Rising Pressure on the Fed
President Trump publicly urged the Federal Reserve to align with international peers by lowering interest rates. In contrast, Fed official Austan Goolsbee advised patience, noting the importance of filtering out short-term volatility in economic indicators before making monetary policy shifts.

 

📊 Institutional Capital Repositioning
JPMorgan and Citigroup analysts highlight a significant pool of sidelined capital waiting for favorable conditions. Current market structure and momentum indicators suggest potential inflows into overlooked areas—particularly small-cap stocks—fueling speculation of upcoming short-covering rallies.
