The deal includes reductions in tariffs on UK automobiles, steel, and aluminum, and grants the UK access to the U.S. beef market. This development spurred optimism for potential future trade agreements and contributed to a rally in equities, with the S&amp;P 500 and Nasdaq posting gains. Additionally, Bitcoin BTC/USD surpassed the $100,000 mark, reflecting increased investor confidence and a shift toward riskier assets.Despite the positive market response, concerns about the broader economic outlook persist. The Federal Reserve opted to maintain current interest rates, citing uncertainties related to the new tariff policies and their potential impact on inflation and employment. Analysts warn of the risk of stagflation — a combination of stagnant economic growth and high inflation—especially as the effects of the tariffs become more pronounced.Looking ahead, high-level trade discussions between U.S. and Chinese officials are scheduled, aiming to address ongoing tensions and possibly adjust existing tariffs.
