A catch up to trade developments as we look towards European trading ...Middle East

News by : (forex live) -

In all seriousness though, markets are already resigned to the idea that trade negotiations will drag on for a few more months. All the US has to show for at this point is half a trade deal with the UK and that's about it.

Right now, even close allies to the US aren't able to catch a break. See:

EU weighs lowering tariffs on US imports to woo Trump - reportMacron: If US 10% tariff stays, Europe will respond by imposing an equivalent on US firms

And with regards to China, I'm not sure what Trump is trying to sell here as he touted a "deal" on rare earths. That had to be clarified after by the White House that it was just an "understanding", with reference to what was agreed upon in Geneva last month. In other words, there is nothing new. And I would expect China to not dramatise this, if at all even, later today. See:

So, that's where we are at heading into European trading today. We'll surely get more trade headlines before the weekend but don't hold your breath expecting any major positives. The best positive news now is that talks will continue for longer without Trump going all ballistic and invoking tariffs chaos as per what he threatened in early April.
