TODAY’S FACTORS AND EVENTS
The week started with the U.S imposing tariffs on some $200 billion in Chinese goods, and China responding with tariffs of $60 billion on U.S imports. Previous rounds of tariffs between the two economic giants have rocked the equity markets, but investors have shrugged off these latest tariffs. Chinese equity markets have actually improved on Wednesday, as investors are optimistic that Chinese stimulus measures will minimize the damage to the Chinese economy from the U.S tariffs. However, there may be more headwinds ahead, as China sharply attacked the U.S this week, saying it had plunged “a knife to China’s neck” with the new tariffs. The Chinese have canceled trade talks with the Trump administration, and no new talks are likely to be held until the mood improves between the world’s two largest economies.
