President Trump Backs Down And Shows China The United States' Greatest Weakness
Summary
- The stock market's recent recovery may be premature, as trade negotiations between the US and China remain uncertain. Meanwhile, there are early signs of inflation due to tariffs.
- Trump's inconsistent stance on tariffs and trade deals, coupled with China's strategic resilience, casts doubt on the likelihood of a favorable agreement soon.
- The US risks economic isolation as other countries strengthen trade partnerships, and tariffs on Chinese imports are already causing price hikes and business challenges.
- China's leverage in rare earth metals and its economic strategies suggest it may benefit more from prolonging the trade war than from a quick resolution.
Hi there, welcome to my profile. My name is Eugenio Catone, I live in Italy and I am 26 years old.In 2023 I graduated in Business Administration and I completed CFA level 1 in 2024. I am currently a Popular Investor on the investing platform eToro, you can see there my public portfolio. My interest in financial markets started about 5 years ago when I accidentally came across a video about trading. That was the spark that introduced me to a new world, but over time I realized that it was not my path: too many charts, lines, and not very concrete concepts for a pragmatic person like me. I needed something different and that I found in fundamental analysis. It is a totally different approach and one that evaluates the actual results achieved by a company rather than the candlesticks made by its price per share. That was the turning point for me and I have not stopped learning ever since. I mainly invest in stocks and ETFs; I prefer US companies but I often analyze European or Chinese companies as well. Being young, my investments typically have a very long-term view; I often take a contrarian view.Seeking Alpha is a way for me to express my opinion and meet new people. My articles are intended as pure entertainment and I hope you will find them interesting.
