China said Thursday that there were no conversations with the US. In a possible commercial agreement. This occurred after the United States seemed to soften its position on commercial relations with China.
On Friday, Time magazine published Trump comments that said it would consider it a “total victory” if the United States has high rates from 20% to 50% in foreign countries within the year. But his comments on Tuesday published on Friday also said that the president expects the ads in many agreements to be “during the next three or four weeks.”
In addition to confusion, Trump told Air Force One journalists that he would not leave tariffs about China unless they give us something. “
Even so, in the future, Jay Hatfield, founder and CIO of Infracap, is optimistic that the worst of uncertainty induced by the rate is over.
“The confusion about whether there are really conversations with China or did not take some steam from the market,” he told CNBC in an interview. “Our opinion is that we have reached the peak of tantrum with rate and, therefore, it is likely to be more positive than negative.”
Hatfield believes that the key controller for markets next week will be the profits of large hyperscaleros companies such as Microsoft and Amazon.
