Tariff Rollback Details

  • U.S. Levies on China: Slashed from 145% to 30% by May 14, including the contentious fentanyl-related duty.

  • China’s Duties on U.S.: Cut from 125% to 10% over the same period.

  • 90-Day Cool-Off: No new tariffs while detailed negotiations continue.


Broader Futures Reaction

  • S&P 500 Futures: +2.5%

  • Nasdaq 100 Futures: +3.4%

This tariff de-escalation has underpinned a swift rotation back into high-beta and growth names, with the Mag 7 leading the charge.


What to Watch Next

  1. Official Rollout: Verify when the tariff cuts formally take effect—this may trigger further rotation into cyclicals.

  2. Earnings Impact: Lower import costs could boost margins for tech hardware and consumer-discretionary firms.

  3. Follow-Up Talks: Markets will look for details on the next round of U.S.–China working-level consultations.
