Global equities steadied after U.S. and China concluded high-level talks signaling renewed cooperation on tariffs and technology transfers. Traders welcomed the de-escalation, which lifted manufacturing and export-oriented sectors across Asia and Europe. The MSCI World Index advanced 0.8% amid improved investor confidence. Analysts noted that lower trade friction could moderate inflation pressures and stabilize supply chains entering 2026. Market strategists warned, however, that enforcement details remain uncertain. The truce’s announcement also strengthened the yuan and supported commodity currencies, giving global risk assets their sharpest weekly rebound in two months.
