During an interview with NBC on May 2, the US President stated that tariffs on Chinese imports will eventually be lowered:
At some point, I’m going to lower them because otherwise, you could never do business with them. They want to do business very much … their economy is collapsing.”
Jay Hatfield, founder and chief investment officer of InfraCap, believes the worst of the uncertainty around tariffs is over. He shared the following remarks while talking to CNBC:
“The confusion about whether there’s really talks going on with China or not took some steam out of the market. Our view is that we’ve reached peak tariff tantrum and so it’s likely to be more positive than negative.”
A spokesperson for China’s Commerce Ministry has said the country is currently assessing proposals shared by Washington to begin trade negotiations. Analysts view the statement as a subtle shift in tone from Beijing that could potentially open the door for talks on tariffs.
The stock market has also received a boost from the latest jobs data shared by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The American economy added 177,000 new jobs in April.
