YouTube Description
as posted by the channelThe US and China both reported "substantial progress" after two days of talks in Switzerland aimed at de-escalating a trade war, marking what Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng called "an important first step" toward resolving differences. While neither side immediately announced specific measures on Sunday, He said the world's two biggest economies agreed to create a mechanism for further talks, led by US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and himself. Bessent said the US would share details on Monday and He promised a joint statement. We get analysis from Alicia Garcia Herrero, Chief APAC Economist at Natixis. She speaks with Bloomberg's Shery Ahn and Haidi Stroud-Watts.
Plus - Japanese stock futures rose on optimism the US-China trade tension may begin to de-escalate after those talks. The Nikkei 225 has climbed 5% through Friday since US President Donald Trump announced so-called reciprocal tariffs on April 2nd, among the best performing major markets. Japan last month was one of the first countries to formally engage in talks with the US, though an agreement is yet to be made. For more on Japan's outlook, we hear from Jean Eric Salata, Chairman and Head of Private Credit at EQT Asia.
