In a breakthrough for global markets, President Donald Trump has secured a far-reaching deal for US-China trade. The agreement with Chinese President Xi Jinping de-escalates tensions between the world’s two largest economies.
On the American side, the deal will see a 10% reduction in tariffs on Chinese imports beginning November 10, 2025, along with extensions to key Section 301 tariff exclusions. The United States will also suspend for one year the implementation of responsive US-China trade actions connected to ongoing maritime and logistics sector investigations.
“This is the BIGGEST de-escalation yet… This is not getting nearly enough attention.”
The US-China trade agreement also guarantees China’s purchase of at least 12 million metric tons of U.S. soybeans by year-end. China will also purchase at least 25 million metric tons annually through 2028.
The landmark arrangement effectively resets trade relations, removing a cycle of retaliatory measures that weighed on corporate profits and sowed supply chain uncertainty across key industries. Immediate beneficiaries of the US-China trade deal include U.S. agriculture, semiconductor manufacturing, and critical minerals production for electric vehicles and consumer electronics.
As the current truce unfolds, attention will shift to how both governments implement and maintain these commitments. The crypto sector, meanwhile, could see a reversal of its recent malaise given the risk-on signals and improved global trading conditions.
