Analysis: Trump's Threat to "Significantly Increase" Tariffs on China Is Just a Bargaining Chip, Another "Trade Agreement" Expected Soon
Mars Finance news, on October 12, The Kobeissi Letter released the latest market analysis stating, "The news about China's rare earth export controls was actually released around 8:30 am ET on October 9, 26 hours before Trump posted about it. In other words, this was originally a 'non-news event'—until Trump commented on it more than a day later. Last night, China issued a statement clarifying its 'export control' policy on rare earths. The statement said: the new control measures are not a comprehensive export ban, and applications that 'meet the requirements' will still be approved. During last Friday's market downturn, our view was: Trump's threat to 'significantly increase' tariffs on China is just a bargaining chip. After China's clarification, we believe the likelihood of Trump actually implementing a 'significant increase' in tariffs on China is extremely low. At present, the largest crypto liquidation in history and the evaporation of $2.5 trillion in S&P 500 market cap both seem to have stemmed from a huge misunderstanding. We expect another 'trade agreement' to be reached soon."
