Today’s MH Market Spotlight Report –
One pundit used the phrase, “Promises Made, Promises Kept.”
The Dow soared 300 points today, after news this weekend that Chinese and American sources both stated that they have come to a tentative agreement on a broad range of trade related issues.
The mutually threatened tariffs, at least for now, are on hold.
Fox Business said, “The United States and China agreed to take steps to significantly reduce the $370 billion trade deficit between the two economic powerhouses by having Beijing purchase more goods, according to a joint statement released by the two nations on Saturday.”
“There was a consensus on taking effective measures to substantially reduce the United States trade deficit in goods with China,” per the joint statement. “To meet the growing consumption needs of the Chinese people and the need for high-quality economic development, China will significantly increase purchases of United States goods and services.”
“Both sides agreed to encourage two-way investment and to strive to create a fair, level playing field for competition,” the statement read.
According to the White House, the U.S. will increase its agriculture and energy exports to China and will end a team of negotiators to Beijing to work out the details, in a statement emailed to MHProNews.
The details of how much deficit reduction will be have not yet been revealed.
As some observers noted, this isn’t going to be a case of the Chinese regime taking out a purchase order, but rather of genuine systemic changes which could lead to the growth of U.S. exports. Given that change, that would be good for American farming, energy, manufacturing, technology, and other interests.
