The Pause Button Stays Pressed, For Now
Key Highlights:
• Beijing and Washington agree to extend their tariff pause following two days of trade talks in Stockholm
• Tariffs remain at 30 percent on Chinese goods entering the U.S., with the duration of the truce left unspecified
Yello Paradisers! After two days of trade negotiations in Stockholm, the United States and China have agreed to extend their pause on escalating tariffs, cooling what had been one of the largest economic standoffs in years.
China’s Vice Commerce Minister Li Chenggang said both nations had agreed to continue the truce on the 24 percent segment of U.S. reciprocal tariffs, as well as the Chinese countermeasures, keeping current duties steady at 30 percent on Chinese goods heading to the U.S. The actual length of this extension, however, remains a mystery, with insiders pointing to a likely 90-day renewal, echoing President Trump’s previous extensions.
While the announcement avoided any grand breakthroughs, it signaled that both economic heavyweights are eager to avoid reigniting a full-scale tariff war, at least for now.
Markets React, And Bitcoin Dips
Global markets, including crypto reacted. Bitcoin dips near $117,000, while traders watched for follow-up headlines that might hint at a firmer timeline for the truce.
In previous rounds, similar pauses have triggered temporary risk-on momentum across equities and crypto alike. For instance, when Trump last paused tariffs, the global crypto market cap rebounded from $2.42 trillion to $2.71 trillion within four days, showing just how sensitive digital assets remain to macro headlines.
This truce is like a safety sign on a rickety bridge, it doesn’t make the crossing any less risky, but it does make everyone feel a bit more confident charging across with their portfolios.
What Traders Should Watch Next
The key now is how long this extension lasts, and whether a surprise reversal sparks new volatility. The 30 percent tariffs remain a ceiling for now, but any hint of escalation or deadline cliff could shake markets.
