Analysts from Deutsche Bank, led by Henry Allen, have indicated that the recent U.S.-China agreement to pause and minimize tariffs marks a critical advancement toward alleviating trade tensions—potentially averting a global recession.

Policymakers Underline Stability Priorities

In a note to clients, strategists emphasized that both governments understand the economic consequences of market unrest:

“Equity market declines diminish consumer wealth, while rising bond yields increase borrowing costs for mortgages. Policymakers aim to prevent downturns that cost jobs and diminish their popularity.”

Both nations’ decision to reduce reciprocal U.S. tariffs to 10% (with exceptions for a 20% fentanyl tariff) and corresponding reductions from China afford new avenues for trade growth.

Robust Data Supports Market Resilience

Deutsche Bank pointed to a series of robust U.S. and worldwide economic indicators—spanning unexpectedly strong GDP growth to solid consumer spending—as proof that markets can absorb external shocks. Despite earlier tariff escalations, equity benchmarks have displayed resilience.
