Recently, new positive signals have emerged in China-U.S. trade relations. According to reliable sources, a Chinese delegation will travel to Washington, D.C. this week to engage in a new round of trade negotiations with officials from the U.S. trade and treasury departments, as well as to communicate with representatives from the U.S. business community.
The choice to hold this meeting in Washington, rather than in a third country, indicates that both parties are intent on creating a relaxed atmosphere. The next round of talks is expected to be arranged in Beijing to maintain the continuity of dialogue.
It is worth noting that the Chinese representatives will meet with the deputy of the U.S. Trade Representative's Office and officials from the Treasury Department, but there are no arrangements for contact with the U.S. Department of Commerce. This arrangement seems to suggest that this round of negotiations will focus on economic and trade issues, temporarily setting aside more sensitive disputes in the technology sector.
The agenda for the talks may include specific matters such as soybean procurement. There are reports that China requires the U.S. to cancel the 20% tariffs related to certain goods before making procurement commitments. This strategy is seen as shifting the focus of the negotiations to areas where both sides can more easily reach a consensus. Although it cannot resolve fundamental differences, it helps to create a positive atmosphere for interaction.
In light of the market's generally cautious attitude towards this meeting, even symbolic achievements may be seen as significant positives. This news has had a positive impact on the Chinese stock market. Although there was a brief decline after the opening, it quickly rebounded. It is worth mentioning that recent trading volumes have reached the second highest level in history, reflecting a shift of market funds from existing plays to new entries, providing strong support for the sustainability of the current upward trend.
The restart of the China-U.S. trade dialogue not only injects new vitality into the economic and trade relations between the two countries but also brings positive signals for the global economic recovery. However, the final outcome of the negotiations remains to be seen, and all market participants will closely monitor the subsequent developments.
