US, China to continue talks on tariffs truce
Officials from Beijing and Washington on Tuesday agreed to continue talks on extending tariff rates under an established 90-day truce. China's top trade negotiator, Li Chenggang, discussed the progress during a press conference in Sweden, where officials have held talks for the past two days. 'The Chinese and U.S. economic and trade teams will maintain active communication, exchange views on economic and trade issues in a timely manner, and continue to promote the stable and healthy development of bilateral economic and trade relations,' Li told reporters, according to Reuters. U.S. Trade Representative Jameson Greer provided a positive report from negotiations, noting that President Trump will ultimately have the final say over a further tariff truce extension. 'We'll report back to him the process we had here,' Greer told reporters, according to Reuters. 'We had constructive meetings for sure, to go back with the positive report. But the extension of the pause, he'll decide.' He added that the conversation was candid and in-depth on both sides, notes Bloomberg. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said the current agreement could be extended out to 90 days. He told reporters Tuesday remaining issues were 'small' according to Bloomberg, noting President Trump would be briefed on concerns by Wednesday. Chinese leaders have said that they want a deal that is mutually beneficial while Trump has weighed the option of visiting Beijing to discuss a more permanent rate in person with President Xi Jinping. On Monday, Trump said he was not seeking a 'summit' with Jinping but would be open to discussion of talks if they were initiated from the other side. 'The Fake News is reporting that I am SEEKING a 'Summit' with President Xi of China. This is not correct, I am not SEEKING anything! I may go to China, but it would only be at the invitation of President Xi, which has been extended,' the president wrote in a Truth Social post. 'Otherwise, no interest! Thank you for your attention to this matter.'

RBC's Calvasina Says Too Early to Dismiss Tariff Hit to Earnings
(Bloomberg) -- The US reporting season is off to a strong start, but it would be premature to write off the impact of tariffs on inflation and corporate earnings, according to RBC Capital Markets strategists. The High Costs of Trump's 'Big Beautiful' New Car Loan Deduction Can This Bridge Ease the Troubled US-Canadian Relationship? Budapest's Most Historic Site Gets a Controversial Rebuild Trump Administration Sues NYC Over Sanctuary City Policy The team led by Lori Calvasina said early trends suggest US companies have been resilient to the trade war so far. However, a slate of executives have warned that the effects will become clearer in the second half of the year, they said. 'It's still too early to assume tariffs won't generate inflation pressures,' Calvasina wrote in a note that was published Sunday, after the trade agreement between the European Union and the US was announced. 'It also poses a risk to the path of stock prices if company outlooks for 2026 don't end up being as rosy as investors have been anticipating.' US stocks have rallied to record highs as investors bet earnings would continue to be robust. About 82% of S&P 500 companies have beaten second-quarter earnings estimates to date, the largest share in almost four years, according to data compiled by Bloomberg Intelligence. Progress in US trade negotiations has also lifted sentiment. In the latest agreement announced Sunday, Washington and the European Union agreed on a pact that will see the bloc face duties of 15% on most of its exports. Some market forecasters including Morgan Stanley's Michael Wilson have turned more optimistic about the S&P 500 as they expect earnings to remain upbeat. On Monday, Oppenheimer & Co.'s John Stoltzfus upgraded his year-end target for the benchmark to 7,100 points — the highest among strategists tracked by Bloomberg. However, others like UBS Group AG's Bhanu Baweja have previously warned the market was too optimistic about profit margins being protected even in the face of higher levies.
