US–China trade deal is 'temporary ceasefire,' not an agreement
Bill Reinsch, Center for Strategic International Studies (CSIS) senior adviser, joins Asking for a Trend with Josh Lipton to discuss President Trump's trade deal with China, calling it more of a "ceasefire" than an agreement. To watch more expert insights and analysis on the latest market action, check out more Asking for a Trend here. President Trump saying today that China will supply rare earth minerals upfront to the US. This coming as part of a larger trade agreement between the two countries. But our next guest says this is more of a ceasefire than an agreement that moves the ball forward. For more, we're bringing in now Bill Reinsch, senior advisor at the Center for Strategic and International Studies. Bill, it is good to see you. So President Trump did make news this morning. Bill goes on social media. He says, "Listen, we got a, got a new effort in place, got a new framework in place so we can get back to negotiations." What, what do you make of what you heard, Bill? Well, it's hard to tell because there's a pattern here, which is you announce the agreement, you declare victory, and then you supply the details later, uh, and when nobody's paying attention. So it's hard to say what is actually in it. It appears to be basically a temporary ceasefire that takes us back to Geneva a month ago and both countries promise to do what they said they were going to do then. Uh, it looks like tariffs are going to stay what they were then. Uh, the two trade-offs that have been mentioned, uh, by Trump and by, uh, Commerce Secretary Rossnik at various points today were one, they're going to export, uh, more industrial magnets and we're going to let their students come into the United States, uh, which really takes us back several months to the status quo ante. And the other one that's actually that I think the most interesting is they're going to export more rare earths, uh, and we're going to, uh, remove some of our recent export controls. And that's of course, is the mystery to be decided, which export controls are going to be removed and to what extent, which is really important. And second, which earth or rare earths are they going to export and to what extent, uh, because they have a, have structured a very complicated export control regime of their own, and, you know, is this going to be everything, or a few things, and at scale, or in smaller quantities? And we don't have answers to any of that. Bill, who broke the original truce there, broke it in Geneva because as you were calling, there's a lot of barbs being traded back and forth. US said one thing, China said another. What is your sense? Well, um, I think what's happened, I've been talking to colleagues here as as well and coincidentally talked to someone who's, uh, based in, an American who, uh, is based in China and was happened to be visiting today. Uh, and it sounds like what happened is the China figured out belatedly that they've got leverage, you know, and that, uh, Trump in this case doesn't hold all the cards. Uh, and the Chinese hold a big one, which is, uh, export stuff that we need, uh, rare earths and, and, uh, some industrial products magnets, small industrial magnets being one, which are very important for automobile industry and some other high-tech products. Um, they really have right now effectively a monopoly on that. Uh, and, uh, we can do something about it, but it'll take a long time. So they've got leverage, uh, and I think what we're seeing this time around is they used it. Uh, and they used it to, uh, get what they wanted, which is some easing of US export controls, uh, and, uh, getting their students back here, which is, I hadn't realized, but apparently is, is, uh, is an important thing for them. And, and Bill, we talk about leverage and, and listen, I get it. We need those rare earths, but don't we have leverage too as well, Bill? I mean, how much of those Chinese consumers and exporters feel the pressure from those elevated tariffs? Well, that's a, that's a good question and it's a little bit of a mystery. The assumption, I think the Trump assumption going in was that we had a lot of leverage because their economy was not in great shape and that we are a huge buyer of their products. And if we stopped doing that because of the tariffs, uh, they would be in serious, even more serious trouble. And we, that would give us some leverage. I think this turned out to be less than we thought. Um, it's not a democracy, the Chinese don't have to worry about public opinion in quite the same way that that we do. And they've been able to, uh, I think manage the economy, uh, not, you know, beautifully, but they've been able to, uh, uh, stave off some of the disasters that I think that the Trump people were predicting. So, I wouldn't say we have no leverage, but I think at the moment, uh, it turns out that we seem to have less than the Chinese do.

Tariff impacts on consumer prices so far: Chart of the Day
Yahoo Finance host Julie Hyman joins Asking for a Trend with Josh Lipton on today's Chart of the Day to explain how tariffs have impacted specific consumer price categories so far, despite overall inflation showing signs of cooling. To watch more expert insights and analysis on the latest market action, check out more Asking for a Trend here. Well, indeed those tariffs do not seem to be having an upward effect on headline inflation yet. And those are two important caveats because there are certain categories where we are seeing upward pressure on prices. It's just not averaging out to the overall number, which we saw just rise a tenth of 1% month over month, and 2.4% year over year. That's the headline number. So there were categories where we were seeing increases. Appliances, for example, rose more than 4%. Then there were some random collection of things, and here, peanut butter, bananas saw increases because of tariffs, at least in part. You saw canned fruits and vegetables on the same front. Roasted coffee, we have definitely seen that raw coffee prices, commodity coffee prices have been going up, toys going up to some extent here. But then there were also a number of categories where we saw decline. In cars, for example, there was a small decline, jewelry and watches, smartphones, gasoline, as we know, and airline fares, for sure, because we've seen a drop in demand for air travel, particularly international, and that has had a bit caused a bit of pressure here. But when we try to dig into why we are not seeing more of these categories see these types of increases, economists come up with a couple of reasons why. And for example, we talked to Ryan Wang of HSBC earlier in the day, and he said, you know, it's probably easier right now, because consumers have absorbed so many cost increases already, that businesses can pass on some cost increases to other businesses. It's tougher to do when it comes to consumers. He theorized that perhaps if there are shortages eventually in some goods, then you could see more upward pressure, or more broad upward pressure on goods prices. Um, he says on the flip side, however, if at the same time the labor market is cooling, then consumers won't be as able to absorb those price increases. So, some of these dynamics are some of the reasons why. Another reason why could be that ahead of the tariff imposition, we saw, of course, a huge surge in imports. A lot of companies trying to get ahead of the tariffs, and so they might not yet be raising prices because they are star they are still working off that inventory. So, pretty split here between the increase the number of categories increasing and decreasing, and again, a lot of different potential reasons why we could still see the tariffs make their way into more categories as time goes on, Josh. All right. Thank you, Julie. Error in retrieving data Sign in to access your portfolio Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data
