Trump, Xi hold trade call
US President Donald Trump held a long-awaited phone call with Chinese President Xi Jinping yesterday as the leaders of the world's two biggest economies tried to avoid an allout trade war. Trump said that the call reached a 'very positive conclusion' and that they agreed to meet in person -- but Beijing issued a more muted readout saying that Xi spoke of a need to 'correct the course' of ties. The call -- the first to be publicly announced since Trump returned to power in January -- comes after Beijing and Washington had accused each other of jeopardizing a trade war truce agreed last month in Geneva. 'The call lasted approximately one and a half hours, and resulted in a very positive conclusion for both Countries,' Trump said on Truth Social, adding that US and Chinese trade teams would hold a new meeting 'shortly.' 'President Xi graciously invited the First Lady and me to visit China, and I reciprocated. As Presidents of two Great Nations, this is something that we both look forward to doing,' Trump added. Trump said they would announce the time and place of the 'soon to be meeting' later. The two leaders did not, however, discuss Russia's invasion of Ukraine, Trump said, despite long-standing US hopes that Beijing could exert influence on Moscow to end the war. 'The conversation was focused almost entirely on TRADE,' said Trump, adding that they hoped to have resolved issues over crucial rare earth minerals used in tech products. Relations between superpower rivals Beijing and Washington have been fraught ever since Trump in April introduced sweeping worldwide tariffs that targeted China most heavily of all.

Stocks slide as Trump, Xi speak amid trade tensions
Stocks markets slid yesterday after US President Donald Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping spoke amid their trade war, while the European Central Bank signalled an end to its rate-cut cycle. Wall Street's major indices rose modestly as trading got underway, but had trouble holding onto the gains and soon slid into the red. Chinese state media reported that Xi had held a widely anticipated call with Trump, with investors hoping it could ease trade tensions -- but no details were provided. The call follows officials from the world's two biggest economies accusing each other of jeopardising a trade war truce agreed last month in Geneva. 'The stock market has traded more timidly of late... mindful that there are a number of loose ends out there on the tariff front, not the least of which is the direction the US-China trade relationship is headed,' said analyst Patrick O'Hare. After his return to the White House Trump launched a tariffs blitz, introducing a 10 percent minimum tariff and higher rates on many countries, with China subject to the highest rates. Some of the higher rates have been suspended as negotiations are underway. European stock markets were also in the red even though the ECB cut its key deposit rate a quarter point to two percent, as expected. It was its eighth reduction since June last year when it began lowering borrowing costs. But ECB President Christine Lagarde stated the central bank is 'getting to the end' of the rate cutting cycle, as inflation has largely dropped to its two percent target in the 20-nation currency bloc. That sent the euro surging against the dollar and European stocks gave up gains. The ECB's series of cuts stands in contrast to the US Federal Reserve, which has kept rates on hold recently amid fears that Trump's levies could stoke inflation in the world's top economy. Investors are now looking to the release on Friday of US non-farm payrolls data, which the Fed uses to help shape monetary policy. Other data released this week has been mixed. April jobs openings data beat expectations, but according to payroll firm ADP private-sector jobs rose by only 37,000 last month. This was a sharp slowdown from April's 60,000 and less than a third of the amount forecast in a Bloomberg survey. Another survey showed activity in the US services sector contracted in May for the first time since June last year.

US & China's Combined GDP Equals 184 Countries
The U.S. and China are in the midst of their second trade war in seven years. Earlier this year President Trump announced an initial 34% 'reciprocal' tariff rate on China, leading to a swift Chinese retaliation. For a brief period, both crossed into 100% territory (i.e., more than the entire cost of the goods itself). Experts cautioned that the resulting chaos could wipe off hundreds of billions from both economies and financial markets saw a swift downturn in response. Since then, tariff rates have come down: varying between 40โ50% on Chinese goods entering the U.S. and 10โ30% on U.S. products entering China. In this chart, Visual Capitalist's Pallavi Rao compares the combined GDP of the U.S. and China versus everyone else, using April 2025 data from the International Monetary Fund. The latest estimates for 2025 have America's and China's combined GDP at roughly $50 trillion. Of the two, the U.S. is much larger, at about $31 trillion, with China at $19 trillion.
