CNBC Daily Open: Investors seem conditioned to expect Trump reversals
The heaviest of U.S. President Donald Trump's "reciprocal" tariffs — a full 145% on imports of Chinese goods — was, once again, delayed for another 90 days. The move should be a huge relief not just to investors, but perhaps most of the population on Earth. The U.S. and China are the two largest economies in the world, according to World Bank data, and a trade war in which imports of each other's goods double in price would probably stymie, if not cripple, the global economy. But markets were mostly unmoved. Well, they did move — lower. The three big U.S. stock indexes retreated Monday as this outcome was more or less expected, since both sides had earlier telegraphed an extension of the tariff pause. Investors could have also been conditioned to expect flip-flopping from Trump, such that threats, promises, criticisms and praises don't carry as much heft as they should anymore. On Monday, Trump said Intel's CEO Lip-Bu Tan's "success and rise is an amazing story," after describing Tan as "highly CONFLICTED" the week before. There's a Freudian idea in which an individual projects their thoughts and feelings to another person. Researchers are, well, conflicted, on the veracity of the phenomenon, but empirical observation suggests it's not uncommon. Trump extends pause on China tariffs. U.S. tariffs on China were delayed for 90 days, Trump said on Truth Social. It was the expected outcome from the latest round of talks between the two countries. E.J. Antoni to be nominated as Bureau of Labor Statistics commissioner. Trump said Monday that Antoni, the chief economist at the conservative Heritage Foundation, is his choice to replace Erika McEntarfer, whom he fired after accusing her of data manipulation. Intel CEO is a "success," Trump says. The U.S. president's praise of Lip-Bu Tan is a reversal in tone from his previous week's message, in which Trump said Tan "must resign, immediately." U.S. stocks end Monday lower. Major stock indexes fell as traders awaited the release of the consumer price index later today — and appeared unimpressed by Trump's extension of tariff truce with China. European markets dipped as well. [PRO] Citibank raises its S&P 500 forecast. The Wall Street bank attributed its higher year-end target for the index to strong quarterly earnings, expected benefits from Trump's One Big Beautiful Bill and a better-than-expected impact from tariffs. What Trump's Nvidia and AMD China deal means for the world Nvidia and AMD have agreed to share some of their revenue from sales to China with the U.S. government, according to several reports. The arrangement crafted by U.S. President Donald Trump's administration is "unusual," analysts told CNBC, but underscores the transactional nature of the current White House leader. Meanwhile, investors see the move as broadly positive for both Nvidia and AMD, which can again secure access to the Chinese market.

Trump extends US-China trade truce for another 90 days
Earlier in the day, Trump remained coy about a possible extension at a White House press conference, saying, 'We'll see what happens.' The administration is increasingly seeking to fold non-tariff-related trade disputes into trade negotiations. Trump earlier on Monday defended a deal he struck with chip-makers Nvidia and AMD that allows them to continue to sell certain chips to China despite concerns over national security, in exchange for the companies giving the U.S. government a portion of the revenue from the sales. Trump also did not follow through last week on a threat to impose secondary tariffs of up to 100 percent on China because of its continued purchases of Russian oil, even though he punished India for the same thing by doubling U.S. tariffs to 50 percent. Top officials from the two countries met in Stockholm late last month, the third in a series of meetings between Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer and Chinese negotiators led by Vice Premier He Lifeng. 'This action is necessary to facilitate ongoing and productive discussion with China about remedying trade imbalances, unfair trade practices, expanding market access for American exports, and aligning with the United States on national security and economic matters,' the White House said in a fact sheet. Those talks — in Geneva in May and London in June — have focused on stabilizing the trade relationship after tit-for-tat tariff increases, easing Beijing's blockade on critical minerals exports and eliminating U.S. curbs on sales of ethane to Chinese manufacturers. With existing duties remaining in place, the U.S. agreed in May to temporarily lower tariffs on Chinese imports from 145 percent to 30 percent, while China dropped levies on U.S. goods from 125 percent to 10 percent. Trade between the countries has been strained over the past year, as Trump has targeted Chinese goods in his effort to upend the global economy. That has put businesses that are heavily reliant on Chinese goods — like the toy industry and the apparel industry — in a difficult situation as they try to navigate changing tariff levels. The 90-day pause will supply those businesses with a sense of certainty, helping with inventory through the Christmas season — even if it comes at a higher cost. Jeff Moon, a former assistant USTR for China, said Trump appears to be hoping to reach a deal with China in time for a regional summit in South Korea in late October. 'You can see the choreography of what's happening,' Moon said Friday during a discussion hosted by the Washington International Trade Association, referring to a series of 'confidence-building steps' between the two countries in recent months.

US and China extend trade truce another 90 days, easing tension between world's largest economies
WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump extended a trade truce with China for another 90 days Monday, at least delaying once again a dangerous showdown between the world's two biggest economies. Trump posted on his Truth Social platform that he signed the executive order for the extension, and that 'all other elements of the Agreement will remain the same.' Beijing at the same time also announced the extension of the tariff pause via the official news agency Xinhua. The previous deadline was set to expire at 12:01 a.m. Tuesday. Had that happened the U.S. could have ratcheted up taxes on Chinese imports from an already high 30%, and Beijing could have responded by raising retaliatory levies on U.S. exports to China. The pause buys time for the two countries to work out some of their differences, perhaps clearing the way for a summit later this year between Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping, and it has been welcomed by the U.S. companies doing business with China. Sean Stein, president of the U.S.-China Business Council, said the extension is 'critical' to give the two governments time to negotiate a trade agreement that U.S. businesses hope would improve their market access in China and provide the certainty needed for companies to make medium- and long-term plans. 'Securing an agreement on fentanyl that leads to a reduction in U.S. tariffs and a rollback of China's retaliatory measures is acutely needed to restart U.S. agriculture and energy exports,' Stein said. Reaching a pact with China remains unfinished business for Trump, who has already upended the global trading system by slapping double-digit taxes – tariffs – on almost every country on earth. The European Union, Japan and other trading partners agreed to lopsided trade deals with Trump, accepting once unthinkably U.S. high tariffs (15% on Japanese and EU imports, for instance) to ward off something worse. Trump's trade policies have turned the United States from one of the most open economies in the world into a protectionist fortress. The average U.S. tariff has gone from around 2.5% at the start of the year to 18.6%, highest since 1933, according to the Budget Lab at Yale University. But China tested the limits of a U.S. trade policy built around using tariffs as a cudgel to beat concessions out of trading partners. Beijing had a cudgel of its own: cutting off or slowing access to its rare earths minerals and magnets – used in everything from electric vehicles to jet engines. In June, the two countries reached an agreement to ease tensions. The United States said it would pull back export restrictions on computer chip technology and ethane, a feedstock in petrochemical production. And China agreed to make it easier for U.S. firms to get access to rare earths. 'The U.S. has realized it does not have the upper hand,'' said Claire Reade, senior counsel at Arnold & Porter and former assistant U.S. trade representative for China affairs. In May, the U.S. and China had averted an economic catastrophe by reducing massive tariffs they'd slapped on each other's products, which had reached as high as 145% against China and 125% against the U.S. Those triple-digit tariffs threatened to effectively end trade between the United States and China and caused a frightening sell-off in financial markets. In a May meeting in Geneva they agreed to back off and keep talking: America's tariffs went back down to a still-high 30% and China's to 10%. Having demonstrated their ability to hurt each other, they've been talking ever since. 'By overestimating the ability of steep tariffs to induce economic concessions from China, the Trump administration has not only underscored the limits of unilateral U.S. leverage, but also given Beijing grounds for believing that it can indefinitely enjoy the upper hand in subsequent talks with Washington by threatening to curtail rare earth exports,' said Ali Wyne, a specialist in U.S.-China relations at the International Crisis Group. 'The administration's desire for a trade détente stems from the self-inflicted consequences of its earlier hubris.' It's unclear whether Washington and Beijing can reach a grand bargain over America's biggest grievances. Among these are lax Chinese protection of intellectual property rights and Beijing's subsidies and other industrial policies that, the Americans say, give Chinese firms an unfair advantage in world markets and have contributed to a massive U.S. trade deficit with China of $262 billion last year. Reade doesn't expect much beyond limited agreements such as the Chinese saying they will buy more American soybeans and promising to do more to stop the flow of chemicals used to make fentanyl and to allow the continued flow of rare-earth magnets. But the tougher issues will likely linger, and 'the trade war will continue grinding ahead for years into the future,'' said Jeff Moon, a former U.S. diplomat and trade official who now runs the China Moon Strategies consultancy.
