What is the latest US-China tariff agreement and how will it impact businesses?

Neal Freiman 0:29
This weekend was beautiful here in New York City, but I was also thinking it'd be nice to have a pool to cool off. Turns out the U.S. and China were thinking the same thing when it comes to their trade war. After talks in Switzerland this weekend, the U.S. and China agreed to a significant reduction in tariffs on each other for a 90-day cool-off period. The U.S. is lowering its tariffs on China from 145% to 30%. while China is lowering its tariffs on the U.S. from 125% to 10%. These temporary reductions give businesses a big break from what had been devastating import fees and allow the U.S. and China to hammer out a more concrete agreement over the next three months. Stocks are ripping this morning, with the Nasdaq up nearly 4% and the S&P 500 nearly 3%.

It really reads like the U.S. and China went through marriage counseling over the weekend. We concluded that we have shared interests, Treasury Secretary Scott Besant said at a news conference in Geneva. What does this mean for businesses? You'll probably see a pulling forward of demand again as trade Companies and consumers try to furiously schedule shipments that take place during this 90-day negotiating window. And speaking of 90-day windows, the 90-day pause on elevated U.S. tariffs on most other countries instituted back in April, that is set to expire on July 9th, while this China window extends to August 10th. So those are kind of the two dates that you need to have circled on your calendar. As for stocks, they are ripping right now, and they are on track as of now. to open above where they stood on April 2nd, the day that Trump's Liberation Day tariffs were announced. And now a word from our new sponsor, Iterable.

Neil, you ever see one of those giant domino setups, like a thousand little titles, all perfectly spaced, just waiting for the first push?
Neal Freiman 2:19
Oh yeah, but if there's one little tile out of place, game over. That's what running old school marketing campaigns feels like. Months of setup, but everything's too rigid.
Toby Howell 2:28
It just doesn't work in a modern marketing. Customers don't follow your perfect flows. Sure, they just added a product to their cart, but then they close the tab to chase their toddler down.
Neal Freiman 2:38
Iterable is built for that moment, the toddler, the tab that got away. It doesn't wait for everything perfect for their campaign to start. It listens, learns, and engages wherever your customers are, across email, SMS, you name it.
Toby Howell 2:51
So instead of crossing your fingers hoping your big campaign lands, you can send little marketing nudges that feel handwritten and perfectly timed, even at scale.
Neal Freiman 3:00
It's not dominoes, it's jazz. Real-time, adaptive, improvisational marketing, and Iterable's the band leader.

Start orchestrating better moments today at endthecampaign.com. New Jersey is still dealing with an old issue as Newark Airport can't seem to shake the system glitches that are leading to delays in safety concerns. On Sunday, another FAA equipment failure led to a temporary ground stop at the country's 13 busiest airport. That's on top of last week's outage that caused radar screens to go black for about 90 seconds early Friday morning. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said that the problem isn't going away anytime soon with, quote, several weeks of reduced capacity and delays ahead. The equipment that we use, we have to go on eBay and buy parts if one part goes down, Duffy said. you're dealing with really old equipment. It's why the Trump administration is looking into a major overhaul of the air traffic control system with plans to replace more than 600 radars and upgrade more than 12 airport towers. The telecom network that underwrites 45,000 flights a day would also be replaced by a wireless and satellite-based system over the next three years.
