U.S. and China to Hold Trade Talks in Geneva as Asian Stocks Rise Amid Trump Tariff Hikes and Distant Deal Prospects

U.S. and Chinese officials are scheduled to meet in Geneva over the weekend to discuss potential resolutions to their ongoing trade war, marked by high tariffs imposed by the Trump administration. While the talks have generated cautious optimism among investors, a definitive trade deal remains uncertain. Asian stock markets have shown mixed to positive reactions amid hopes that the negotiations could ease trade tensions between the two economic powers. Analysts and commentators note that although the discussions represent a step forward, the prospect of a substantial tariff reduction or comprehensive agreement is still distant. Market participants continue to monitor developments closely as the talks unfold.
